THE task of modernizing the IT infrastructure can, understandably, be difficult. Which is perhaps why many organizations struggle to take on the challenge. However, a successful transformation, away from current legacy systems will without a doubt enable companies to gain considerable business advantage. According to recent IDC data, up to 76 percent of businesses that are considered industry disruptors are planning on replacing their legacy application within the next five years. Many of these companies are deploying cloud-based solutions to achieve greater operational and cost efficiencies.
