Sustainability as a strategic approach for the transformation of legacy applications.

Mann steht nachdenklich an einem Fenster

How to underpin your modernisation strategy with convincing arguments and thus win over your decision-makers commercially, technically and strategically.

Sustainability and action geared towards it has developed from an eco-spree into a megatrend for companies and organisations. At first glance, IT professionals think of energy-efficient computer architectures, space-optimised data centres or the reuse of valuable raw materials from decommissioned servers and laptops. This is not enough. We show how sustainability can help as a strategic approach to the transformation of ageing core applications.

If a company wants to maintain its position in volatile markets with new business models despite a shortage of skilled labour, there is no way around sensible reuse, continuous knowledge management and consistent housekeeping for its core applications.

In this white paper you will learn:

How to underpin your modernisation strategy with convincing arguments and thus win over your decision-makers commercially, technically and strategically

Why resource bottlenecks and digitalisation pressure are also making sustainability a trending topic in software development

How a well thought-out sustainability story can revitalise long-delayed or unsuccessful legacy transformations

Step-by-step approach, assistance and concrete advantages

Information technology is at a turning point: We need to modernise existing software assets so that they can continue to be used and at the same time be integrated into new technologies.
