How CIOs Can Convince Business Managers to Invest Into Application Modernization
A business-critical application has grown over years and the code has become very complex.
Business requirements cannot be implemented in the given time frames.
Costs are increasing steadily. More and more developers “are consumed” by the application. However, the development speed does not increase.
In the board meetings the CIO has been trying for years to convince the business managers to invest into modernization of this critical application.
However, the CIO is not able to communicate the technical risks and costs. Hence, there is no comprehension and no money for modernization. The situation is getting worse and worse.
Problem StatementIncreased complexity over the years

How CIOs Can Convince Business Managers to Invest Into Application Modernization
To put the degree of complexity into perspective, all of the three core applications have been analyzed and visualized on software maps.
The software maps clearly show that the critical application is overly large, complex and consumes overly high person-power.
The budget managers’ reaction:
“Why didn’t you tell us before, that we urgently need to invest into modernization?”
The modernization project has finally been approved.

Findings:• “Application1” is huge
compared to Application 2 and Application 3.
• Application 1 has many code areas with complexity problems.
Software Map LegendArea: Lines-of-CodeHeight: ComplexityColor: DeveloperTime ($$)
Findings:• Application 1 has a
specific problematic complexity area where a large fraction of the developers’ time is bound. Here are unnecessarily high costs due to coding in complexity.
