More than 70% of CXOs of global companies consider mainframe or legacy modernization a strategic business priority for the next three years, a Tata Consultancy Services survey reveals.

The study surveyed 211 CXOs and senior decision makers from companies that currently have legacy or mainframe applications.

Key findings Over two-third of the respondents are using mainframe or legacy applications for core business operations and over 60% for customer-facing functions.

Top three challenges with legacy systems were integration with new applications, lack of business agility, and security exposure.

Greater agility to respond to market needs is a key business objective in driving legacy modernizations, followed by improving application performance / responsiveness, and improving availability / disaster recovery and improving compliance / security.

"The survey reinforces our own experiences with customers across industries and markets. They are giving the highest priority to legacy and mainframe modernization in their digital transformation programs, especially during the pandemic."
