The Challenge And Opportunity Presented by Legacy Environments – Can They Become A Resource For Growth?

Traditional IT solutions are a legacy of a pre-cloud era and act as a handbrake to digital transformation and adoption of cloud native solutions.

They are necessarily expensive to run, consume valuable resources and no longer align with strategic direction, or are they potentially your biggest untapped asset?

This discussion will centre on a variety of perspectives to examine whether thinking differently about this can allow organisations to unlock budget and take control of the entirety of your roadmap rather than be beholden to the whims of the mega vendors such as IBM/HCL.

• Networking drinks reception to meet peers from other organisations and industries who are contending with the same challenges relating to legacy, digital transformation, cloud migration especially as related to IBM/HCL software
• Pre Dinner scene set by Origina to introduce everyone to the group and determine common areas of interest / challenge to think about over dinner

Hot Button Themes to be presented by Origina:

• Security – I can only use vendor patching to secure my solutions
• Interoperability – I must continually upgrade to maintain interoperability as per vendor compatibility matrices
• Cost – legacy solutions are necessarily expensive to run
• Skills – talent is in short supply and nobody wants to work on legacy solutions.
• Roundtable discussion over dessert to step through the common areas of interest and hot button themes. What insights or opportunities are there to share with the group?
