Combined, generative AI and app modernization fuel a virtuous cycle of increased agility and revenue growth, making high-value modernization feasible in areas that were previously off-limits.

Some organizations are using generative AI to build or refactor applications, create workflows for migrating legacy ERP systems to SaaS versions, or develop functional requirements for new digital products built to run in the cloud. Generative AI can help organizations cope with skills gaps and reduce mundane, tedious tasks so staff members and teams can work more efficiently.

AI can correlate KPIs to the app performance and support requirements, which helps CEOs make faster, smarter decisions about IT spend.

– 83% of executives say, modernizing apps and data is central to their organization’s business strategy.

– 60% of leaders who believe their generative AI investments are critical have already made significant progress

For manufacturing business leaders, urgency and speed-to-value should be the mantra you share with your generative AI teams. Require, reward, and celebrate fast cycles of modernization, where each iteration pushes toward better business outcomes.
