Business leaders know they must modernize their IT environments to meet the core objectives of business innovation with AI, transforming legacy IT, and ensuring resilience and control. But that doesn’t happen unless the right foundations are in place.

Many do not recognise that only with application migration, data transformation and AI readiness can they build the backbone to meet these business objectives. According to IDC research, only a handful of organisations admit that their migration and modernization strategies have been fully successful and are yielding the expected results.

The reasons C-suites share for modernisation failures are not just about technology. Often, it is caused by operational challenges, infrastructure complexities, skills shortages, misalignment with business needs, change management, or legacy processes.

But to tackle those challenges and modernise technology, our research also shows that platform engineering is emerging as the essential architectural foundation for successfully scaling modern software delivery. This becomes even more relevant as organisations navigate the complexities of cloud migration, application modernisation, and the integration of AI.

Join us for an exclusive dinner, hosted and moderated by IDC, and sponsored by SoftServe & AWS, at One Aldwych on Thursday July 2, to discuss how this approach can work for you. This roundtable offers a unique opportunity to engage with industry experts, exchange perspectives, and, most importantly, share your own experiences and challenges for a confident way forward that will meet those business objectives.
