In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, enterprises must adapt quickly to stay competitive. Traditional application development practices no longer align with modern business demands, leading to inefficiencies, high maintenance costs, and growing technical debt. These challenges hinder innovation and slow time-to-market. To overcome these challenges, enterprises must adopt a proactive, platform-based development strategy that enhances agility, scalability, and collaboration while systematically minimizing technical debt..

In this report, we examine conventional application development’s limitations, highlighting how legacy systems and outdated methodologies create inefficiencies and long-term technical debt. The report outlines a structured framework to transition to modern, AI-driven, and low-code-enabled development practices that accelerate software delivery and create a sustainable, future-ready digital ecosystem. Key themes covered in this report include traditional development’s challenges, emerging technologies’ role in modern application delivery, and a structured roadmap to guide enterprises in their transformation journeys.
