Why Application Modernization and AI Are No Longer Optional for Fortune 500 Enterprises
DALLAS - Dec. 1, 2025-- Jory Pai: Modernization and AI Are Now Mandatory for Fortune 500 CompetitivenessDallas, TX - As global markets accelerate and customer expectations evolve at record speed, application modernization has become a business survival requirement-not just a technology upgrade. Digital transformation solution executive Jory Pai, a veteran of IBM, Oracle, Red Hat, and TEKsystems Global Services, says AI has officially eliminated the luxury of delay.
"AI didn't change the rules-it changed the speed of the game," Pai states.
Pai, who leads application modernization intake and business technology strategy for TEKsystems Global Services, warns that legacy monoliths prevent enterprises from adopting AI models, automation, and real-time decisioning. Companies attempting to "bolt on AI" without modernizing architecture will face rising cost, security risk, and falling productivity.
The Hidden Tax of Legacy Systems
Pai notes that outdated platforms quietly drain millions in operational cost while slowing innovation. Modernization, he says, is now the foundation for clean data, automation, and scalable AI.
Where Modernization Wins
According to Pai, the most successful Fortune 500 transformations share common traits:
Modern, cloud-ready platforms
Automated CI/CD pipelines
Event-driven, modular architecture
Data modernization aligned to app modernization
AI use cases tied directly to ROI
Modernization fails, Pai adds, when companies pursue "big bang" rewrites, treat AI as a plug-in, or leave outdated processes in place.
"AI is not a threat to workers-legacy systems are. Modernization plus AI elevates the workforce and accelerates growth."
Pai predicts the next five years will determine the market leaders in every major industry. "Companies that modernize now will dominate. Those that delay will be disrupted."
