The importance of modern applications

Throughout the course of the pandemic, businesses adapted to become more agile. In their pursuit of digital transformation, refreshing outdated software portfolios to include applications that offered flexibility took center stage. Enter the adoption of application modernization.

In addition, modern applications are expected to grow 20% on average across cloud and data centers, compared to traditional apps.

Cloud native technologies demand new roles and skill sets
