Today, software underpins nearly every function in every industry, driving automation, efficiency, and innovation. This transformation continues as businesses increasingly adopt artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other advanced technologies.

However, many enterprises face challenges not only in developing new software products but also in maintaining their legacy application portfolios, which are crucial for daily operations.

Application modernisation offers a way to reimagine and transform these legacy applications for cloud delivery. By modernising your enterprise applications to become cloud-native, you can significantly enhance your operating model and achieve impactful outcomes.

The application modernisation path is an excellent route not only for modernisation but also for innovation. It provides the opportunity to move your applications to the cloud while leveraging the benefits of cloud hosting and developing purely cloud-native applications. Organisations should now consider innovation as a key component of their cloud strategy.

Application modernisation can be approached in various ways, depending on the organisation’s needs, the expected ROI, and the available timescales.

But the same solution doesn’t work for everyone, and not all organisations can afford to totally rebuild for a cloud-native solution. This session explores different approaches to modernising your application portfolio through reuse (lift and shift to the cloud), revitalising (modernising your existing application) or revolution (revisiting your needs, creating a cloud-native solution from the ground up).

Presented by Robert Hogg, Black Marble co-founder, Chief Executive Officer, Microsoft MVP for Azure (specialising in Integration PaaS), and Microsoft Regional Director.
