Safeguarding the Corporate IT Assets

The option to replace or rewrite core IT applications is often risky and expensive - undesirable at any time, but brought into sharp focus during a recession. There is another option - the modernisation of existing IT systems. With effective assessment and modernisation, businesses can identify where value lies in their core IT infrastructures and evolve them to avoid a costly and high risk IT overhaul. One positive survey result was the majority view that recession brings focus back to so-called 'Core' IT systems. 60% of CFOs in Europe and the US say skills to modernise core IT assets are "The most valuable in a recession."
