success factors for IT modernisation
– Strategy and cooperation are key
A modern and accessible IT environment is a prerequisite for running a fast-paced and flexible business. At the same time, many companies are struggling to keep up with the rapid technological development. Therefore, a successful IT modernisation requires a clear plan and strategy – and that all relevant stakeholders are involved in the process.
For a successful transformation project, it’s important that your business units, development teams, data teams, security teams, infrastructure and operations teams work together. The goal is to create digital platforms that are customer-centric and deliver clear business results.
Strategic alignment is key to a successful outcome. Let your organisation’s goals for growth, innovation and customer experience lead the way and align your IT investments accordingly. In other words, start with projects that have high business value.
Get it right from the start

The next step is to set up an it modernisation strategy. Which systems should be decommissioned, and which existing systems and applications can be updated? The goal is to improve performance, security, and user experience, while at the same time optimally managing and analysing your business data. When in doubt, let the lifetime cost of the application guide your decision.
