The good news:Federal IT managers say more than half (55%) of existing IT systems could be modernized (e.g. remediated, renewed or replatformed).

Why the delay?
1. Conduct an application inventory of your existing portfolio to form a vision for change.
2. Assess the applications most in need of modernization—prioritizing security needs and mission-critical applications.
3. Embrace the legacy. Old doesn’t mean outdated. Validate the technical feasibility, then execute incrementally to achieve future-ready applications that deliver with greater e�ciency and security.
