Java migration often relies on outdated strategies that are unsustainable for organizations. For instance, a bank struggling to upgrade from Java 8 due to constraints from WebSphere highlights the challenges faced. Modernizing applications without breaking them is tough, especially when dealing with thousands of legacy systems. A report from Forrester emphasizes that maintaining this technical debt raises costs and risks, urging companies to consider outsourcing to experts. This can improve operational reliability and facilitate the transition towards modern AI-driven architectures while alleviating resource strain.
The bank was pinned to Java 8 because it was using WebSphere.
The challenge is how to refactor 3,000 applications onto a more modern Java environment in a way that avoids breaking them.
Outsourcing the legacy tech stack to proven outsource providers will ensure operational reliability at a negotiated cost.
Technical debt both increases IT costs and risks while slowing down the delivery of new capabilities.
