From quick provisioning of resources to pay-as-you-go infrastructure, the cloud brings an array of opportunities and benefits to businesses. For most enterprises, the cloud has become the preferred choice to launch new business apps and uncover new insights quickly at a lower cost. Many have already started migrating their apps and adopting Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to future-proof their infrastructure and improve agility.

This paradigm shift has brought a renewed interest in modernizing IT with organizations looking to apply modern tools, processes, and knowledge into their application portfolio initiatives. While modernizing applications brings a host of benefits, organizations must establish enterprise-wide IT modernization strategies and follow best practices to achieve success. Although enterprises can carry out this modernization process on their own, there are chances that most will fail to take complete advantage of moving to the cloud.
