Cloud Modernization: Transforming Your MDM and PowerCenter for Business Agility

In today's hyper-competitive business landscape, modernizing legacy systems isn't just an IT initiative—it's a business imperative. Yet, the journey to the cloud remains challenging for many organizations. A staggering 87% of companies now have multi-cloud strategies, but 74% of cloud modernization projects fail, with the average migration project taking a daunting 16 months to complete.

The On-Premises Burden: Why Legacy MDM and PowerCenter Systems Hold You Back

Organizations running on-premises Master Data Management (MDM) or PowerCenter systems face multiple critical challenges:

• ‍High Costs & Limited Scalability: Hardware, infrastructure, and licensing fees create significant overhead‍
• Complex Integration: Connecting on-prem systems with modern cloud applications creates technical debt‍
• Maintenance Burden: Frequent upgrades and patches drain IT resources from strategic initiatives‍
• Innovation Gap: Legacy systems can't leverage AI-powered automation or deliver real-time insights

This explains why 84% of organizations lack the right data platform to support cloud-native digital business, and 82% lack sufficient skills to architect and manage cloud environments.
