Digital transformation is forcing companies to make their IT landscapes future-proof. According to the Lünendonk Study 2025, more than 40% of enterprise applications are currently only partially operated in the cloud. At the same time, 62% of companies report that their mission-critical applications need modernization, while 50% confirm that maintaining and further developing legacy systems is no longer reliably possible. These figures clearly show that relying on outdated systems entails rising costs, security gaps, and competitive disadvantages.
Why legacy software must be modernized
Legacy systems often evolve over many years and are deeply embedded in business processes. This leads to high maintenance efforts, difficulties integrating modern applications, and limited flexibility for rapid market responses. Security vulnerabilities due to missing updates pose another risk. Companies therefore need solutions that not only migrate applications to the cloud but also modernize them and make them future-proof.
