Modernization

In the realm of information technology and cyber security, modernization refers to the process of managing or moving away from aging software and hardware solutions. This process must take place prior to cloud migration in order for software to function properly within the cloud. Sometimes it also involves consolidating and/or eliminating outdated systems and processes.

Once a business has gone through the modernization process, which can also include adopting some automation, those old software programs, systems and processes can be migrated to the cloud. In the cloud, the modernized forms have even further options for automation. Modernization should be an ongoing process with updates happening on a cyclical timeline.
