About
Modernizing legacy systems is a significant challenge for many Belgian businesses, as they balance the need for digital transformation with the risk of disrupting ongoing operations. Legacy systems often serve as the backbone of business processes, but their limitations, such as inflexibility, high maintenance costs, and difficulty in integrating with newer technologies, can impede progress. The key question is how businesses can modernize these systems without compromising business continuity or customer experience.
According to a study by Deloitte, organizations that modernize legacy systems strategically can reduce operational costs and improve agility. However, Gartner emphasizes that a full-scale replacement of legacy systems is not always the best approach. Instead, organizations can leverage hybrid strategies, such as system integration, microservices, or cloud migration, to gradually modernize without disrupting core operations.
Research by Accenture shows that while the migration from legacy systems is complex, businesses that take an incremental approach, updating critical components first, while keeping legacy systems running in parallel, can maintain operations during the transition and gain quick wins.
This session will explore these strategies and provide practical insights into how Belgian companies can transition from legacy systems to modern infrastructures, ensuring they continue to operate efficiently while embracing new technologies that drive digital transformation.
