SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- EvolveWare, a leader in automating the maintenance and modernization of software applications since 2001, today released The State of Application Modernization 2023: Insights into IT Teams' Strategies and Preparedness. This report examines IT teams' application modernization priorities, preparedness, and access to the latest technologies amidst economic uncertainty and a growing shortage of IT talent.

Key Points: 
  • This report examines IT teams' application modernization priorities, preparedness, and access to the latest technologies amidst economic uncertainty and a growing shortage of IT talent.
  • However, the high confidence level drops between companies planning their modernization project (41%) and those that have begun their modernization project (28%).
  • Hence there seem to be different and multiple rationales for application modernization depending on which interested party within an organization you speak to.
  • The disconnect may lie between IT teams, who are likely defining modernization motivations, and the C-Suite who are defining tangible measures of success.
