Challenges of Legacy Systems in Cloud Development
Despite advancements in cloud technology, 64% of organizations are still deploying or maintaining legacy systems in their development efforts.
In the face of rapid technological advancements, this statistic highlights a significant challenge in the industry: legacy systems remain a crucial part of development for many organizations. Even as modern cloud technologies offer greater flexibility, enhanced analytics, and powerful machine learning capabilities, legacy systems continue to serve essential roles, often due to business needs or the complexity of migration.
Larger enterprises, in particular, are more likely to be involved with legacy systems, although mid-sized companies also report a notable presence of older technologies. This reliance on legacy infrastructure presents both a risk and an opportunity for companies supporting cloud developers.
As these legacy systems age, the scarcity of the specialized skills needed to maintain them increases, raising integration and maintenance costs. For those targeting cloud developers, the question becomes: How can businesses effectively support these hybrid environments of old and new technologies?
How is your organization balancing the need for innovation with the ongoing maintenance of legacy systems? Let us know in the comments.
