Most CIOs face significant challenges with legacy applications, including technical debt, scalability issues, security vulnerabilities, integration complexities, skill gaps, and high maintenance costs. These issues often hinder innovation, reduce operational efficiency, and limit competitiveness.

This session will explore how CIOs can address legacy application challenges through continuous modernization and leverage cutting-edge Generative AI tools to drive efficiency, cost savings, and agility. Join us to gain actionable insights and strategies for transforming legacy systems into secure, scalable, and user-focused digital platforms that support long-term business growth.
