Organizations Prioritizing Java Application Modernization
A recent survey by Vanson Bourne found that modernizing existing Java applications is a higher priority than other projects for 87% of respondents, with over 80% expected to be re-engineered in the next 5 years.
The survey also found that enterprises plan to invest 45% of their software development resources on modernizing existing applications versus developing new ones.
