Healthcare organizations are all too familiar with legacy applications, especially in a connected environment with devices that may rely on outdated systems or processes. A certain amount of technical debt is a reality for many organizations, but too much of it — stemming from constantly delayed maintenance and upgrades — will eventually impact operations.
IT teams know this, and 95 percent of key IT decision-makers, back-end developers and software architects believe that application modernization is essential for their organization’s success, according to a June 2024 Red Hat report, “The state of application modernization.” The top three reasons organizations are modernizing are to improve security, increase reliability and increase scalability, the report notes.
For healthcare providers, embarking on an app modernization process may seem overwhelming. But for organizations that have already started on a digital transformation journey, such a process may be within reach simply by optimizing applications that already exist in the tech stack.
“More than ever, digital transformation is about business outcomes, not technology,”write CDW leaders in a recent white paper, “Accelerating Velocity Through Legacy Application Modernization.”
