Business leaders worldwide are facing pressure to
accelerate digital modernization. For many decision
makers, building modern applications isn't just a
priority—it's a necessity.
How these modern applications are developed and
operated can have huge implications on the pace of
innovation, the level of performance, and the cost
of ownership. Simply stated, modern apps are the
product of modern processes. So it's no surprise that
64 percent of IT decision makers cite modernization
as their top priority for 2023.¹
Yet, it's that goal that exposes a core challenge—
By 2026, businesses that don't effectively address
the talent and digital skills gap in their organization
will constrain revenue growth opportunities by 20
percent.² This skills gap is putting leaders on the back
foot as they attempt to modernize operations and
applications.
