We’ve come to the end of our review of the technologies that will ensure companies gain competitiveness, improve their business processes and achieve a leap in resilience and agility in 2025. If we talked to you in the last chapter about the importance of developing a good hybrid cloud strategy, today we will follow the same path and talk to you about how essential it is to modernize applications to take full advantage of the cloud.

In this series we also talked to you about: Desktop as a Service, Wi-Fi 7, Access and Identity Management and Adaptive and Cognitive Cybersecurity and Digital Twins and Industry 4.0. You can consult all this and much more in much more detail in our Orbital Vision guide Don’t miss it!

He “pick up and move” is a cloud migration strategy that involves moving applications, systems, workloads and data from on-premises to the cloud with little or no change.

Although this is a fast and efficient way to migrate workloads, the truth is that many of the benefits offered by the new environment are lost in areas such as cost optimization, automation, agility, etc.

In this sense, more and more companies are choosing in their cloud strategy instead of a replatforming, refactoring or containerization strategy in order to modernize their applications in the cloud. Among the advantages of this approach, the following stand out:

• More scalability and agility: modern applications can dynamically scale resources depending on demand.
• Better performance and reliability: These types of applications offer high-availability and fault-tolerance features that offer a better user experience.
• Real-time analytics: In modern environments, applications can collect and process data in real-time, enabling businesses to make more informed decisions and respond quickly to market changes.

In this sense, it is expected that 65% of organizations accelerate its efforts to modernize cloud applications in 2025 and incorporate new capabilities such as artificial intelligence.

In addition, security and compliance will be key when choosing modernization strategies, and on the other hand, the development of applications designed specifically for the cloud will be prioritized. At the same time, the FinOps approach that can help companies optimize cloud spending will be missed.
