Plan your Java application modernization journey
Change and uncertainty are constants for today’s businesses.
Your success depends on your organization’s ability to continuously adapt, innovate, and deliver new, high-value products and services to customers. Your core business applications and IT infrastructure play critical roles in achieving these goals and can become key competitive differentiators.
At the same time, you need to maximize the value of time, budget, and training investments in your existing infrastructure. But maintaining these systems often consumes resources that could be used for innovation. In fact, studies show that, on average, IT organizations spend 64% of their budgets on running their current infrastructure and applications, and only 36% on innovation and growth initiatives.
Application modernization can free resources for innovation.
Monolithic, Java™ based business applications typically require significant time, effort, and money to support and maintain. Because of their architecture, these applications are not easily or quickly adaptable to meet changing business and customer requirements. And most cannot fully integrate with third-party systems, limiting your ability to add new services through partnerships.
Modernizing your monolithic Java applications can help you get more from your existing investments and free time and budget for strategic projects, feature improvements, and new applications that support business initiatives. Cloud-native and microservice architectures and approaches provide the efficiency, flexibility, and scalability needed to boost application agility and innovation today and adapt more easily over time. Even so, adopting these technologies can be a daunting task and requires detailed planning, time, and resources. As a result, application modernization is an ongoing journey — rather than a single act — for most organizations.
This e-book discusses the benefits of modernizing your Java applications and provides guidance for planning and implementing your modernization journey.
