Technical Debt Study

IT and business leaders face growing challenges around managing legacy systems and processes and the associated “technical debt” this brings.

With business transformation and modernisation programs driving rapid technology adoption, but many businesses are still dependent on legacy systems, hindering DX progress.

The Telsyte Technical Debt Study is a comprehensive market study which reviews and forecasts trends and strategies for dealing with legacy across the Asia-Pacific, Japan and Middle East (APJME) region, including Australia. The study also investigates how technical debt is costing businesses more than immediate financial impact.

Key questions answered:
