Modernization is one of the biggest technology opportunities of our time. Across industries, organizations are looking to move faster, operate more securely, and scale innovation. But legacy systems, technical debt, and fragmented infrastructure continue to slow progress.
IDC reports that more than 37% of application portfolios require modernization today, and that need will remain high for years to come. It’s a challenge that demands deep technical expertise, and it’s your opportunity to lead.
