Application Maintenance is on a never-ending upward spiral due to low code quality, design patterns, and other related tech debt.
The cost of maintaining applications (run-the-business) is eroding budgets and leaving little room for innovation. These costs often increase year-on-year and can take up to 80% of a bank’s IT budget.
By reengineering debt management, companies can truly fuel digital innovation and bring products and services faster to market.
Technical debt usually happens due to low code quality and design patterns. While there is a myriad of reasons, the most often overlooked reason for tech debt pile-up is run-the-business (RTB) applications that are going through changes and updates.
The cost of maintenance is not as simple as it seems
- Slow Digital & Agile Transformation - Velocity tied to the slowest platform
- Challenging Architecture Changes - Complicated cloud/cloud-native re-architecture process
- Lurking Vulnerabilities - Vulnerabilities inherited over time
- Impaired Re-usability - Degrading code quality & size over time
- SDLC Automation - Test automation debt & limited Devops debt
- Knowledge Gaps - Documentation of features in scaled environments
- Low Unit Test Coverage - Increased integration efforts & cycle times
- Lost Resiliency - Past resiliency patches might not apply to the new architecture
