What is the Compliance-Ready Legacy Modernization course about?
Legacy systems house essential business logic, but updating them under strict regulatory oversight is complex. Teams face misalignment between engineering velocity, compliance mandates, and audit expectations. Without a structured approach, modernization stalls, technical debt compounds, and innovation is delayed, despite clear executive mandate.
