“Like every technology, data management is evolving. Successful companies strive to manage their data efficiently, and much of the focus today remains on digital transformation, which may include incorporating cloud-native technologies. However, as the Harvard Business Review explains, “The rate of digital transformations failing to meet their original objectives ranges from 70% to 95%, with an average at 87.5%.” While many believe that adopting these technologies allows organizations to adapt and scale, legacy systems still exist in many organizations’ tech stacks, and it doesn’t make financial or practical sense to rip and replace them. We also can’t forget about the data that exists within some of these legacy systems. A balance must be struck when working with legacy systems and incorporating digital technology solutions. Additionally, companies must follow the proper process when transitioning from traditional legacy data management systems to modernized approaches.”
