Application Modernization is the practice of updating legacy applications by modernizing their frameworks, internal architectures, platform infrastructures and features. By integrating upgraded functionalities and enhanced features, application modernization revamps existing legacy applications and helps them function well.

Scaling legacy applications and adding new features becomes complicated as the application or the software tends to become obsolete and outdated. This inability to integrate with upgraded functionality and new systems can affect the overall growth and expansion of businesses that use legacy applications.

Modernizing applications and legacy systems can propose multiple benefits, such as reduced operational costs, better scalability, improved customer experience and enhanced product value. Here are a few important reasons why enterprises opt for app modernization.

<b>1. Provides the ability to add new features</b>

Application modernization provides the ability to integrate new features and services that align with the business’s goals and objectives in a better way. Adding new features allows businesses to personalize their apps thus ensuring that legacy applications continue to deliver value. 

<b>2. Improves the productivity of developers</b>

Application modernization helps in improving developers’ productivity as they now can save time by working with easy to use technology. App modernization eliminates reduced tedious chores of dealing with outdated features and obsolete technology by automating tasks and eliminating repetitive processes. It also helps in removing Microservices challenges during migration to the cloud.

<b>3. Enhances customer experience</b>

With customers expecting businesses to keep up with updated technology and trends, businesses must comply with these changing trends or else they should be prepared to lose their target audience to their competitors. Application modernization helps to enhance customer experience by transforming user interface, integrating new features, offering new services and automating manual tasks.
