Most modernization projects don't stall because of technology. They stall because real-world applications depend on things that are difficult to rebuild: custom software, legacy dependencies, specialized configurations, and years of accumulated business logic.
In this session, we'll examine how to modernize existing applications with less disruption, reduce migration risk, and prepare workloads for the next generation of AI-powered experiences. Modernization isn't the finish line—it's what makes AI possible.
