Paragons: Rocket Software’s Praveen Kumar
The digital economy in the Philippines is on an aggressive growth trajectory, projected to reach $35 billion by 2025. Yet, many businesses struggle with modernization due to entrenched legacy systems and a shortage of skilled personnel.
Praveen Kumar Chandrashekhar , Vice President for Asia Pacific at Rocket Software , underscores the pitfalls of conventional modernization methods and how his company provides a more seamless alternative.
“The historical method of modernization used to involve rewriting the entire application on a distributed platform. This often resulted in resource wastage as the business logic built in the applications over years of learning failed to transfer effectively,” Kumar explains.
The result? Critical applications that failed to scale, massive write-offs on modernization expenditures, and businesses stuck with outdated legacy platforms.
