In this session, "Harnessing the Power of Azure for Modernizing Legacy Systems," we’ll explore how businesses can turn outdated legacy applications into modern, scalable, and cloud-friendly solutions using Microsoft Azure. We’ll break down the challenges that come with legacy systems and show how Azure’s tools can help boost scalability, cut costs, and prepare your applications for the future.

Beyond the migration process, we’ll look at practical strategies for working with legacy code—like spotting performance bottlenecks, refactoring to make systems easier to maintain, and introducing modern coding practices without causing disruptions to the business. You’ll learn how to strike a balance between making gradual improvements and rolling out big changes for a smooth transition.

I’ll also share real-world examples from our own migration projects, where we tackled tough problems like untangling tightly coupled monoliths, managing technical debt, migrating data with minimal downtime, and making legacy systems work with modern Azure services. You’ll hear how we overcame these challenges with a mix of Azure tools, creative problem-solving, and lessons learned along the way.

Whether you’re just starting your modernization journey or in the thick of it, this session will give you practical insights and tips to help you navigate the process with confidence.
