Cloud Native Roadblocks: Why Aren’t You Leaving Legacy Database Systems?

Legacy database systems are a standard for enterprise IT infrastructure. But as industry leading businesses accelerate cloud native transformation, these legacy technologies can turn into costly and innovation-halting roadblocks that hinder the modernization of applications. Organizations are aware of the benefits for moving legacy, on-premises databases and applications into cloud native infrastructure and services, such as:

  • Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
  • Eliminate expensive commercial software licenses
  • Improve database availability, scalability, security, and performance
  • Position applications to leverage business-transforming AI, ML and analytics capabilities

Despite an understanding of the benefits—the lack of a confident first-step and actionable transformation roadmap pushes leaders to begrudgingly accept the status quo rather than invest time and resources for modernizing databases and transforming applications.

C-Vision laid out an articulate plan for us to be much more targeted, presented a stronger ROI and on top have come through with the Results they Promised.  They really have become an adjunct "team for hire" building trust with us all along the way.  There is no second guessing on this relationship and consistently over-deliver.  My kind of Partner.

I had the pleasure of joining the C-Vision International, Nordics CISO Council Roundtable with a wonderful group of cyber executives. We had a wonderful, insightful conversation and the whole experience was enjoyable. I made great new contacts and reconnected with existing contacts on really important topics that matter to CISO’s and all in cybersecurity. I’d highly recommend joining in any C-Vision event.
