Across industries, legacy systems continue to absorb significant budget and limit the ability to scale innovation, particularly in areas such as AI, data driven decision making and real time customer engagement. While many organisations recognise the need to modernise, the reality is often far more complex. Transformation efforts can introduce operational risk, disrupt critical services and extend timelines far beyond initial expectations.

This session brings together practitioners who are actively navigating these challenges within their organisations. The discussion will explore how teams are rethinking the economics of modernisation, managing risk within highly interconnected environments and creating pathways to evolve legacy estates without compromising stability or business continuity.

The focus will be on practical experiences, lessons learned and forward looking strategies as organisations move towards more adaptable, scalable and AI ready architectures while maintaining control, resilience and measurable outcomes.
