When a business runs on aging custom-built software, it eventually has to decide on a path forward. The options are:

  •  Do Nothing
  •  Replace with Off-the-shelf
  •  Replace with a new custom system
  •  Modernize in-place

There isn't a silver bullet. In this dialog, we'll discuss the factors that drive ROI for each option, including Total Cost of Ownership, Organizational Risk Profile, and Technical Debt. Learn how you, as a financial leader, can drive tech decisions that deliver strong financial and operational returns for your organization.


CPE Learning Objectives:

  • Evaluate the financial and operational trade-offs of replacing versus modernizing custom core systems by analyzing total cost of ownership, technical debt, and long-term ROI.
  • Compare the risk profiles associated with maintaining, replacing, or modernizing legacy systems, and assess how these risks impact enterprise value and strategic decision-making.
  • Apply a structured decision-making framework to technology investment choices, enabling financial leaders to guide system strategy decisions that align with organizational goals and measurable business outcomes.
