Every forward-looking business work hard to keep up with changing customer preferences and channels to market. A classic struggle is dealing with legacy systems: the old hardware, software and infrastructure that can hold companies back in their quests to digitize.
You can’t easily decommission all these systems or switch them off because often they’ll be home to business-critical processes: payroll, ERP, logistics, HR and supply-chain management systems, for example. And then there are budget, inertia and macro factors to deal with.
