From Legacy Burden to Business Advantage: Modernising Critical Applications

Many organisations rely on applications that have quietly become barriers to growth. Built on unsupported frameworks, expensive to maintain and difficult to change, these systems can limit innovation, increase security risk and create dependency on a handful of people who understand how they work. Every enhancement becomes a project, every upgrade carries risk, and the business is left moving at the pace of its oldest technology.

Join Black Marble’s Robert Hogg and Andrew Wilson for a practical webinar exploring the realities of application modernisation and how organisations can make informed decisions about the future of their technology estate.

This session will examine the challenges facing legacy applications, from escalating support costs and security exposure to poor user experiences, technical debt and limited scalability. We’ll explore the options available to organisations, including updating existing applications, migrating them to modern platforms, reshaping them into cloud-native services, or reimagining them entirely to take advantage of modern architectures, AI and automation.

Drawing on extensive experience delivering modernisation programmes across public and private sector organisations, we’ll share frameworks for assessing application portfolios, identifying quick wins, managing risk, and creating a roadmap that balances business priorities with technical realities.

Whether you’re an IT leader, architect, application owner or decision-maker, this webinar will provide practical guidance on reducing operational risk, improving agility and ensuring your applications are ready to support the next phase of your organisation’s growth.

Learn how to move beyond simply maintaining legacy applications and start building a platform for innovation, resilience and long-term business value.

Presented by Robert Hogg; Black Marble co-founder, Chief Executive Officer, Microsoft MVP for Azure (specialising in AI), and Microsoft Regional Director and Andrew Wilson; Chief Consultancy Officer, and Microsoft MVP for Azure (specialising in Integration PaaS).
