IT Modernization means different things to different organizations and their IT departments. Generally it is the process of upgrading the technical infrastructure, be it the hardware for the network, the servers or desktops, and increasingly the mobile devices in play. It is also the process of upgrading the business applications by upgrading and/or replacing the vendor supported application, or the AppDev stack for in house systems.
IT Modernization is often challenged by the business priorities, and the need to deliver new functionality to remain competitive or increase efficiency and customer service. Deferring and avoiding the updating and modernization in IT leads down the dark path of technical debt and bankruptcy.
Join a panel of senior IT managers to discuss how their IT organizations have led IT modernization efforts, and share pointers and best practices in this area.
Moderator:
