To Migrate or Not to Migrate Your Legacy Systems. Should That be the Question?
Modernization in Place makes sense in some cases but it isn’t the only viable option. Each company should choose the option that best fits their specific needs. Some enterprises want to stop maintaining hardware.
I was at Insurtech Hartford last week and had a great time talking to people in the insurance industry. There was a particular panel discussion which has been on my mind since. During the panel discussion one of the panelists said enterprises shouldn’t migrate but should instead integrate and then leverage that to build modern services for customers. This is called Modernization in Place by many groups. Others such as Gartner use the term encapsulation.
