The challenges
Core limitations
Legacy core technology is often poorly documented and proves difficult to integrate with internal and third-party solutions.
Data silos
Valuable customer data is stored in multiple systems, making it challenging to provide comprehensive insights to launch new products and services quickly.
Unmanageable IT landscape
Decades of ad-hoc accumulation of legacy systems result in a brittle point-to-point architecture.
Vendor dependence
Many vendors provide basic systems and services that come with onerous contracts and a sluggish roadmap.
Resource constraints
It is difficult to utilize the few available IT resources for anything other than custom development and maintenance.
