Modern applications increase agility by lowering the time required to build, deploy, and maintain applications that can automatically scale to the needs of the workload.
Modern applications also reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) by improving operational efficiency and resource utilization. According to IDC, building modern applications reduces TCO by 60 percent over a five-year period, with an average break-even period of nine months.
From conversations we’re having with organizations all around the world, we’re learning that it’s now more important than ever for modernization efforts to be accompanied by cost optimization. But you don’t have to compromise on cost when you modernize—modernizing your applications can reduce your costs and also enable you to innovate rapidly.
