While many organizations want to modernize, the task can seem monumental. The systems are large,
complex, numerous, and sometimes fragile and barely understood. Application development, security, and
delivery—and the way teams work together—are entrenched. The analysis is daunting, and the path forward
can seem unclear. These challenges lead to hesitation, delay, and even inaction. While the need for change is
unquestioned, there is debate on how to start. In the meantime, however, organizational entropy can ensue
and technology debt can accumulate, while the demand for IT resources increases. Market change
accelerates, but the pace of digital transformation cannot keep up.
