Digital transformation is more than a buzzword. It’s the process of evolving from rigid, legacy on-premises platforms to a modern, cloud-first IT environment equipped to rapidly adjust to changing business and customer needs. At the core, it’s about driving business value throughout your organization.For example, on average, migrating to the cloud with Amazon Web Services (AWS) delivers:
- 69% reduction in unplanned downtime
- 43% fewer security incidents per year
While those benefits have real bottom-line impact, coupling cloud migration with application modernization (rehosting, refactoring, rearchitecting, and rebuilding your applications to take full advantage of the cloud) offerseven more:
- Elasticity: the ability to respond to spikes in customer demand
- Availability: the ability to serve customer requests wherever and whenever
- Agility: the ability to quickly fix a problem or deploy a new functionality that customers want
