**Organizations take a variety of different approaches to modernizing their applications as they target improving security, reliability, and scalability.

If we look at the drivers individually, the most respondents (58%) have already seen security benefits but the majority have also seen reliability (52%) and scalability (53%) benefits. In the context of application modernization projects that are mostly still ongoing, these should be viewed as a very positive sign of the value that application modernization can bring. It’s even more impressive if we look at whether respondents have seen benefits in at least one category. Viewed that way, almost all (98%) have experienced a benefit in at least a single critical area.

The other conclusion that we can confidently draw is that application modernization is not a one and done project. Rather, there’s a clear incremental path to re-architected applications. Just 15% of respondents plan to go straight to refactoring. But that doesn’t mean refactoring is off the table for the future. Indeed, 47% plan to replatform and then refactor. Another 38% plan to rehost, then replatform, and only then refactor. (Among organizations who describe their application modernization as a continuous process, this last category shoots all the way up to 52%.)

However, companies are taking steps to address the challenges faced at both the organizational and individual levels. One US-based IT decision maker recommended that you “set clear objectives and goals for the modernization process, establish a dedicated modernization team, and conduct a comprehensive assessment of your current application portfolio.” The quantitative results from our survey similarly emphasized up-front planning and a systematic approach with researching/adopting additional tools, API-driven development, building a business case, and implementingDevOps practices at the top of the list when it came to actions their organizations are taking in response to modernization challenges.

Overall, there are some clear common themes: have a concrete goal, plan, enable the right team, and continuously monitor (including vulnerability scanning). Interestingly, hiring subject matter experts and providing additional training weren’t the priorities that we’ve seen across other surveys. One reason is that there seems to be at least incrementally more focus on outsourcing—such as managed services—and consulting with communities and vendors on best practices among the respondents here. Skilling up still matters. But so does leaning on third-party expertise and capabilities when available and appropriate.
