Modernizing Legacy Systems: AI-Enhanced Cloud Adoption Frameworks

“By 2030, 80 percent of heritage financial services firms will go out of business, become commoditized, or exist only formally but not competing effectively”, predicts Gartner.

This session explores the integration of AI, specifically ChatGPT, into cloud adoption frameworks to modernize legacy systems. Learn how to leverage AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) 3.0, Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure, and Google Cloud Adoption Framework to build cloud-native architectures that maximize scalability, flexibility, and security. Designed for architects, technical leads, and senior IT professionals, this talk provides actionable insights and strategies for successful digital transformation.

Cloud adoption frameworks are essential for accelerating digital business transformation by leveraging the power of cloud technologies. This talk will guide you through the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) 3.0, Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure, and Google Cloud Adoption Framework, focusing on building cloud-native architectures that ensure scalability, flexibility, and security.

The session will delve into the strategic role of AI, particularly ChatGPT, in modernizing legacy systems. By understanding and implementing these frameworks, you will learn to navigate the complexities of transitioning from legacy systems to modern cloud-based architectures. This talk will provide practical steps and real-world case studies to help you effectively plan and execute your cloud adoption strategy.

Legacy systems can be assets and obstacles, providing reliable functionality but often becoming burdensome to maintain and evolve. In this talk, we will confront the challenges of working with legacy architectures and discover the strategic approaches for modernization. By examining the benefits and risks of incremental migration versus full system rewrites, attendees will learn the most suitable path for their unique situations.
Through practical examples and case studies, we will explore how successful organizations have revitalized their aging architectures, preserving the value of legacy investments while embracing innovation and adaptability. From small-scale legacy components to large-scale monolithic systems, we'll cover diverse modernization scenarios, allowing participants to glean insights applicable to their projects.
Whether your organization is facing budget constraints, a need for rapid modernization, or concerns about maintaining critical functionality, this talk offers a comprehensive guide to navigating the legacy landscape and crafting a roadmap to rejuvenate aging architectures.
