Most businesses these days are adopting state-of-the-art cloud migration, infrastructure modernization and app modernization strategies to leverage benefits of improved agility, enhanced resilience, better scalability and faster time to market. 

Here, we talk about what application modernization is and the major challenges that enterprises have to face while modernizing apps.

<b>What is Application Modernization?</b>

Application Modernization is a method or process of updating existing legacy applications by modernizing its frameworks, platform infrastructures and app features. Businesses opt for app modernization techniques to update obsolete and under-performing software with new upgraded languages, frameworks and platform infrastructures. 

The App modernization market is expected to grow <b>from USD 11.4 billion in 2020 to USD 24.8 billion by 2025</b>, at a CAGR of 16.8% during the forecast period, says a <a href="https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/PressReleases/application-modernization-services.asp">report</a>.

<b>Modernization Challenges that Businesses have to face!</b>

While embracing the latest techniques of app modernization, businesses have to face some complex challenges. Typically, these problems are concerned with the cost and complexity of execution. Moving existing applications from on-premises to the cloud without a plan or a strategy can prove to be a futile attempt. 

There might be a possibility where a few applications can benefit from re-architecture and re-platform but they are so heavily coupled to and entirely dependent on existing systems that the complexity to modernize them may outweigh all its advantages.

Listed here are some of the major challenges of app modernization. Let’s take a look at these!
