Digital Modernization
Digital modernization is when an organization upgrades their existing systems to adopt the latest technology, which in turn will better meet the demands of the market and streamline business operations. Effectively modernizing infrastructure and workflow can cut out middle steps, save money on labor and maintenance, increase efficiency, and facilitate greater analytics and output.
Writing emails instead of letters, accepting credit cards as well as cash, optimizing your website for mobile users, or selling cars online instead of a dealership – these are all examples of expanding and improving operations to better meet the needs of today’s society. Though the original method may have worked fine, it’s important for organizations to adapt along with the needs of their users, meeting them where they are and staying relevant in the face of new problems.
Digital Transformation
Digital transformation takes a more comprehensive approach to changing a company’s fundamental structures and ideology. This transformation incorporates modern technology to identify the best ways to serve the customer. A transformation allows the company to pivot the business strategy from the top down, facilitating better long-term growth and adaptability.
Upgrading Legacy Systems
A full transformation or even a comprehensive system modernization might be too much for some companies to tackle. A more focused digital overhaul that can still present significant benefits is legacy modernization.
Legacy modernization targets and revamps the weakest areas of your system. This process takes existing legacy systems – often outdated and slow compared to newer options – and replaces them with the latest in modernized technology. The goal is to reduce complexity, inefficiencies, IT costs, and vulnerabilities. By updating software, infrastructure, processes, and technology, an organization can better meet the needs of their customers, mission, and their future.
Legacy modernization is a more targeted and critical approach to upgrading an organization’s systems, but it still requires process changes and an understanding of the latest technology. There are ways to methodically approach this modernization so the company’s operations don’t suffer, including one-by-one replacements or finding modern equivalents rather than changing an operation completely.
Why Modernize?
With the many options for incrementally updating legacy applications and processes, there’s no reason companies and organizations can’t bring their businesses into the 21st Century.
Especially for government or military operations, or quickly-changing markets, having the most efficient, responsive, and secure systems are key. Benefits to modernization include:
- Cuts costs
- Eliminates clunky legacy systems
- Reduces processing time
- Increases efficiency
- Addresses vulnerabilities
- Maximizes cybersecurity
- Ensures mobility and adaptability
- Offers better analytics and visualization
- Creates better platform integrations
- Increase productivity
- Maintains CMMC and other regulatory compliance
- Stays competitive and cutting-edge
To stay relevant, cut costs, maximize output, and safeguard an organization’s future, legacy modernization should always be a fundamental component of IT operations.
