The Hidden Costs of Enterprise Web App Modernization
The benefits of enterprise application modernization are clear. However, the path to achieving it is often filled with unexpected costs. While many organizations plan for initial development, they underestimate the complexity (and required resources) of updating large legacy systems.
To successfully modernize an enterprise web app, you must carefully consider all aspects of the process. This includes tooling, infrastructure, developer time, and more. Failure to do so will result in inflating budgets, expanding timelines, and derailed modernization efforts. But, by completing a comprehensive assessment of your web app, you can ensure your modernization project will deliver long-term value without financial surprises.
