Platform Modernization FAQs

Platform modernization services refer to the process of updating and migrating legacy IT systems to modern platforms, architectures, and technologies. This process can involve updating hardware, software, databases, and existing applications to improve performance, security, and functionality.

As consumers are exposed to more modern technologies, their expectations begin to adjust accordingly. Legacy platforms tend to be less efficient, more costly, and more prone to bugs and security breaches, which can negatively impact the user experience. Platform modernization enables software companies to keep up with the latest developments in technology and position their software with the strongest foundation for improvement and growth.

Platform modernization is necessary when an existing software or system becomes outdated compared to other solutions on the market. While there is no perfect formula to determining when a platform modernization should take place, organizations must weigh the deficits in their current platform against the benefits of modernizing over time. Technical debt and outdated systems tend to add up, leading to greater long term costs than the upfront expense of a modernization. Organizations must also consider the potential advantage they’re losing when modernized competitors can operate with more agility and provide better experiences to end users.

KMS works with you to understand the full scope of your platform in its current state and where it needs to be in the future. We have vast experience in making platform modernization as painless as possible and delivering measurable, impactful results. Having worked with billion-dollar companies with complex modernization needs, we’ve successfully updated their systems and saved millions in bottom-line revenue. We can do the same for you too!
