When a legacy web application becomes obsolete and unsustainable to support, it’s time to think about modernizing. The path to modernization, however, is not always straightforward and there are important decisions to make before getting started. Teams must consider the cost of maintaining the legacy app, how to approach the migration itself, and what management of the future state application will look like to ensure a smooth transition — and avoid surprises and expensive missteps.

About the Webinar

Join Matthew Weier O’Phinney (Senior Product Manager, OpenLogic and Zend by Perforce) as he moderates a conversation on legacy web app modernization with two experts who have helped Perforce customers every step of the way, from consulting to performing migration services. They will discuss:

  • Weighing the costs of modernizing vs. maintaining a legacy codebase
  • How to create a migration roadmap 
  • When to refactor vs. rewrite the application
  • Security and compliance considerations
  • Assessing upskilling/training needs
  • And more!
