"IT leaders need to weigh up the drive to adopt new, exciting innovation with the technical debt and mission-critical legacy applications their business has accumulated. Many legacy systems continue to deliver business value, and as Jeremiah Stone, chief technology officer at SnapLogic, noted during a conversation with Computer Weekly at the company's Integreat event in London on Tuesday, the biggest pain point of all is that most legacy modernisation is a business value neutral exercise."
"Arguably, artificial intelligence (AI) - the main focus of the Integreat conference - is one of those technologies that does not play well with legacy IT. "AI needs data," he said. "Without data, there is no AI. You need good data and you need to get your data AI-ready." Boehringer Ingelheim's AI and data strategy is based on self-service integration and self-service data. The company is a SnapLogic customer and has used the platform to support its data strategy, called Data Land."
IT leaders must weigh adopting new innovation against accumulated technical debt and mission-critical legacy applications. Many legacy systems continue to deliver business value yet modernisation often produces no net business benefit despite significant time and effort invested. Legacy platforms frequently serve as the operational backbone of organisations, making upgrades risky. Business requirements can outgrow legacy IT, and newer tools may not integrate well with older systems. Artificial intelligence requires high-quality, AI-ready data, which can be fragmented across old systems. A self-service integration and data approach can help prepare legacy data for AI, as exemplified by a Data Land strategy using a SnapLogic platform.
