The Challenge: Legacy Systems Cost Enterprises Billions

Across the financial services industry and beyond, organizations continue to depend on aging Java 8 systems—risking high maintenance costs, security vulnerabilities, and lost agility.

  • 87% of banking IT budgets go toward maintaining legacy Java systems.
  • 29–50% of banking applications still run on outdated Java versions.
  • $57 billion in global maintenance costs expected annually by 2028.

Monolithic architectures slow innovation, making modernization harder each year as fintechs and cloud-native competitors release updates every few weeks.

The Solution:

A Modernization Roadmap That Works
In this exclusive 75-minute session, Payara experts share practical insights to refactor and modernize Java legacy systems without disrupting business operations.

  • Refactor safely using the Strangler Fig and other proven architectural patterns.
  • Optimize for the cloud with container orchestration that can cut infrastructure costs by up to 50%.
  • Ensure compliance and security while modernizing critical enterprise applications.

After Watching, You’ll Be Able To:

  • Analyze legacy codebases and identify modernization risks
  • Apply effective refactoring patterns for smoother transitions
