“87% of business executives reported that modernization is required for a company to expand and thrive.” (eSparkBiz 2025)
Modernizing legacy systems is essential for businesses aiming to maintain competitiveness. However, the process can be both costly and fraught with risk. Traditional approaches often involve large-scale migrations that demand significant budgets, extensive technical resources, and lengthy implementation timelines. While the need for modernization is clear, organizations must balance costs, risks, and operational stability. Instead of an all-or-nothing approach, businesses require solutions that enable sustainable upgrades with minimal disruption.
Common Solutions and Their Drawbacks
Full system migrations are a common strategy for modernizing legacy systems; however, they present substantial challenges. These large-scale projects often lead to unexpected complications.
Beyond delays and cost overruns, these challenges can impede a company’s ability to compete effectively. A Deloitte survey revealed that 82% of respondent companies had missed cost reduction targets, with inadequate technology infrastructure being a significant obstacle. (IT Brew 2024)
Adaptigent’s Advantage: Cost-Efficient Migration Pathways
