Why modernize legacy applications now

Legacy application modernization is no longer an option—it’s a strategic necessity for companies looking to stay competitive in today’s market.

The cost of not modernizing

Legacy applications represent a growing cost across multiple dimensions:

• Obsolete infrastructure: Expensive maintenance and technical limitations
• Scarce talent: Fewer and fewer professionals specialized in old technologies
• Operational risk: Higher probability of failures and security issues
• Limited innovation: Difficulty integrating new technologies and features

Benefits of modernization

1. Reduced operational costs

Migrating to cloud-native architectures on AWS enables:

• Automatic scaling based on demand
• Pay only for actual resource usage
• Reduced infrastructure maintenance costs

2. Greater business agility

Modern architectures facilitate:

• Faster deployments
• Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD)
• Experimentation with new features

3. Improved security and compliance

• More frequent security updates
• Better access control and auditing
• Easier regulatory compliance

The role of AI in modernization

Artificial intelligence accelerates the modernization process:

• Automatic analysis of legacy code
• Refactoring suggestions based on best practices
• Test generation to ensure functionality
• Automatic documentation of migrated code
