  5. Application Modernization Journey: Fast Tracked or Sidetracked? Signs Indicate a train wreck is coming unless you modernize IT. CIOs are advised not to continue hiring more programmers to keep old systems running, but rather, fund an IT modernization / application overhaul program. The consequences of not modernizing are increasing support costs and ultimately, the loss of IT and business agility. 78 percent of respondents stated that “rapid changes in the environment demanding a quick response” was the top business pressure for legacy application modernization. Modernization of custom and packaged applications is a top concern for IT leaders. Having little to no transparency into two-thirds of IT budgets is a top concern for Business Leaders © 2011 Unisys Corporation. All rights reserved.
