Overview

If you are reading this, then you can probably relate to what Center for Digital Government (CDG) research recently found: Forty-two percent of agencies spend more than a quarter of their IT budgets maintaining legacy systems. On this hour-long webcast, we are going to tell you how your agency can break this budget cycle and easily, iteratively and cost-effectively modernize systems and applications that are no longer meeting your needs. Join us on June 12th at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern where leaders from CDG and OutSystems will discuss:

• The roles of low-code and microservices in taking an agile approach to legacy modernization
• How to overcome common modernization challenges, like a shortage of developers and the need to rip and replace systems
• Highlights and trends from the CDG research survey on legacy modernization

Read this brief to learn how low-code can help governments create applications and services that provide even greater value for their citizens and employees, sustain enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts and meet their mission objectives in ways that weren't even imaginable a short time ago.

The Center for Digital Government (CDG) recently conducted a survey of 190 state and local government technology professionals on the topic of legacy systems and IT trends. Areas of inquiry included spending on legacy system maintenance and modernization, perceived benefits of modernization, and the use of agile project management to modernize legacy systems.
