Siili Solutions: Legacy Systems Impede Digitalization Progress
Technology firm Siili Solutions Plc highlights that outdated IT systems are a significant barrier to achieving corporate digitalization goals. The need for a modernization strategy is emphasized.
Helsinki – Technology services company Siili Solutions Plc has raised concerns about how outdated systems and complex IT infrastructure risk slowing down corporate digitalization efforts. The firm argues that technological advancements and market shifts necessitate a continuously updated digitalization strategy.
The accelerated digitalization, fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic, has created new expectations for real-time, customer-centric, and AI-assisted user experiences. However, many organizations, particularly older and larger enterprises, face challenges due to underlying legacy systems, such as monolithic applications coded in Cobol and disparate systems accumulated through mergers and acquisitions.
Problems also arise from fragmented and poor-quality data systems, where information is often incompatible across different platforms. Siili Solutions notes that these challenges can emerge unexpectedly during projects, causing significant issues for all involved.
The company offers tools and methodologies to identify and assess modernization needs, examining aspects like architecture, processes, systems, infrastructure, code, data, and organizational attitude. Siili Solutions utilizes tools such as CAST Highlight to analyze software portfolios, supporting fact-based decision-making.
Siili Solutions emphasizes that true digitalization is about improving core business operations and customer experience. The company's approach to modernization projects is grounded in research and facts rather than guesswork, employing relevant tools, methods, and expertise.
