about the event
Postponing software upgrades quietly drains your revenue. Right now, outdated architecture likely forces your team to spend up to 70% of their budget just keeping the system alive, leaving almost nothing for new development.
This session exposes
the exact financial damage of relying on legacy tech. We break down the real cost of technical debt, bloated vendor dependencies, and the brutal reality of the parallel operation phase.
You will get
a harsh, realistic look at how to stop burning cash on bad code and how to accurately estimate modernization projects before system failures force your hand.
Key points we’ll cover
– Why your maintenance bills currently exceed your new feature development budget.
– How the “parallel system” phase doubles workload.
– The exact way to budget for running two systems at once without breaking the bank.
– What to do when in-house developers know the old code but lack modern architectural skills.
– How outdated servers kill uptime KPIs and expose your business to data breaches.
Who should attend
– CEOs losing market share to faster, modern startups.
– CTOs trying to get realistic budget approvals for massive tech overhauls.
– Product Managers dealing with constantly delayed feature releases.
– Operations and Finance leaders tired of unpredictable IT maintenance costs.
