A Data-Driven Approach to Application Modernization

Whenever tech companies change their business focus, they face significant technology challenges linked to agility, compliance, maintainability, scalability, and additional software quality issues. These problems are only amplified when a company experiences hypergrowth.

The good news is that application modernization can serve as a countermeasure to these challenges while preventing a major rewrite of the system (or at least parts of the system) by improving the architecture and keeping architectural and design technical debt in check. For these reasons, the use of application modernization is quickly growing in popularity. Konveyor's May 2022 report revealed around 54% of businesses have plans to adopt the process within a year. 

How the Right Product Mindset Can Propel Business Outcomes

Today’s engineering teams often use agile methods to guide software development and adhere to the principles outlined within the Manifesto for Software Development. These principles, which were created as an alternative to documentation driven, heavyweight software development, represent the dominant force that led to the ‘continuous delivery in software’ approach that is prevalent today.

At Talentica, we have worked alongside more than 150 software development teams, including early-stage companies, in the last two decades. This experience has underscored the need for a separate set of principles to help CEOs, CTOs, Engineering VPs, and other technology leaders to align their engineering teams with strategic outcomes beyond just product delivery.
