How to Break Free From Legacy Applications to Modernize Your Business

For many organizations, legacy applications are a silent drain on resources, consuming up to 70% of IT budgets and leaving little room for innovation. These outdated systems, often built on rigid monolithic architectures, create technical debt that slows progress, limits scalability and complicates modernization efforts. Add to this the challenges of opaque ownership, brittle integrations and a growing skills gap, and it’s clear why so many businesses struggle to keep pace with market demands.

Modernization isn’t just a technical upgrade — it’s a business enabler. But where do you start when faced with thousands of applications, each with its own complexities and risks? How do you balance the need for innovation with the reality of maintaining critical systems? And how can AI and automation help bridge the gap?

These are just some of the pressing questions addressed in our webinar, “Breaking Free From Legacy Applications.” Industry expert and Chief Innovation Architect for CDW Software Engineering Greg Peters shares insights from his 25+ years of experience, offering practical strategies to tackle modernization challenges.

From leveraging AI-driven tools like CDW’s Strategic Application Modernization Assessment (SAMA) to understanding the role of “vibe coding” to accelerating development, this session is backed with actionable advice to help your organization move forward.
