More applications and digital experiences are getting enhanced with AI every day. In fact, 81% of surveyed organizations believe AI will give them a competitive edge.<sup>1<\/sup> Applications are where AI comes to life and are the path to driving business impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, AI isn\u2019t just a catalyst for new, intelligent services. It is shifting the way applications are built and deployed, and placing new requirements on businesses to modernize their infrastructure, processes and application architectures. Simply put, many of the legacy models for supporting applications will not work for the wave of AI-enhanced, data intensive applications that are arriving in this new era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"modernization-an-imperative-for-innovating-with-ai\">Modernization: An imperative for innovating with AI&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The focus and demand for AI is creating an urgency to modernize existing applications, creating new opportunities to innovate with AI and enhance business processes. Businesses are accelerating modernization efforts to meet the demands of their digital and AI transformation. They are adopting cloud native architectures and principles to better facilitate AI adoption and creating a flexible platform that is purpose built for AI and ensures all applications are served with the optimal performance, scale, and security. In her talk on the May 8, 2024 Azure Application Modernization Webinar, <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/blog\/author\/jessica-hawk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jessica Hawk<\/a>, Product Marketing Corporate Vice President for Microsoft Azure Data, AI, and Digital Applications sheds more light on <a href=\"https:\/\/info.microsoft.com\/ww-landing-harness-the-power-of-intelligent-apps-modernize-with-azure.html?lcid=en-us\">Driving Innovation Through Modernization in the Era of AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker-container\">\n\t<div class=\" wp-block-msxcm-kicker-block wp-block-msxcm-kicker--align-right\" data-bi-an=\"Kicker Right\">\n\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker__title small text-neutral-400 text-uppercase\">\n\t\t\tInvest in App Innovation to create new business value\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<a\n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker__cta btn btn-link p-0 text-decoration-none\"\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/info.microsoft.com\/ww-landing-invest-in-app-innovation-to-stay-ahead-of-the-curve.html?lcid=EN-US\"\n\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\t\t>\n\t\t\t<span>Download e-book now<\/span> <span class=\"glyph-append glyph-append-xsmall wp-block-msxcm-kicker__glyph glyph-append-go\"><\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modernization goes beyond just lifting and shifting application workloads to cloud virtual machines. Modernization is optimizing those applications for the cloud and innovating by infusing AI to make them more intelligent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Scalability and flexibility<\/strong>: AI applications have higher requirements for scale and flexibility due to data intensity, the complexities of AI models, the required business impact, and the need for agile development practices to support the fast pace of innovation. If they fail to meet these requirements, AI apps fall short of the expectations and value they drive for businesses. Whether building new applications or modernizing existing ones, cloud platform services offer the flexibility to scale needed to meet business needs, ensuring businesses can respond swiftly to opportunities and customer needs.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Data integration<\/strong>: Intelligent applications and datea are inextricably linked. A a critical building block for intelligent apps is access and integration with organizations\u2019 business data. Modernizing to be cloud-centric enables better access to the data needed to drive intelligent apps, even across data sources. This integration is crucial for AI models that drive intelligent applications, enabling them to deliver richer insights and more personalized experiences to customers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Innovation and competitive advantage<\/strong>: Perhaps the greatest promise for intelligent applications is the ability to accelerate or enhance innovation. But achieving this promise requires a union of platform and developer services that enables developers to build at speed, freely access the services they need, and adapt without the friction and complexity of traditional infrastructures. The cloud is an enabler for innovation, providing the tools and services necessary for developer teams to build and deploy intelligent application easily. Modernizing legacy applications to the cloud not only provides the needed scalability and flexibility, it also provides development teams with the right tools and services to build and deploy intelligent apps quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\"><strong>Enhanced security<\/strong>: As with all paradigm shifts in applications, the advent of intelligent apps necessitates rethinking the way that we infuse security into the application, data, and platform\u2014with an unrelenting focus on protecting business and customers. Legacy applications unfortunately aren\u2019t the most secure, modernizing them affords businesses the security needed for their business and customer\u2019s data. <br>Furthermore, we know the path to modernization isn\u2019t all rosy and easy, with a lot of organizations not yet achieving the goals they set for their modernization projects. Even with the incredible pace of innovation in intelligent apps, we must remember that we are just at the beginning of a massive, long-term transformation in how we build, deliver, and support applications. The market is still learning and evolving and thus businesses need the right strategy, process, and platform to support innovation needed for this era and beyond.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"azure-the-platform-for-ai-innovation\">Azure: The platform for AI innovation&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Microsoft is committed to making Azure the best place for all your applications\u2014from the new services you&#8217;re building to the existing applications slated for modernization.
