Discover how addressing the three pillars of app optimization — app modernization, intelligent apps, and developer experience — can empower you to scale your apps with ease.
When it comes to setting your organization up for success, a great place to start can be within the realm of software development. At Insight, we have expertise in managing applications — a broad practice that encompasses modernizing legacy apps, integrating AI and automation tools into the app landscape, and enhancing the developer experience to facilitate a seamless go-to-market approach.
Let’s unpack the synergy between app modernization, intelligent apps, and developer experience — and how each area can benefit your business.
Organizations must constantly evolve with changing technology to keep up with their competition. And as organizations grow, their applications need to be able to handle increased loads and user demands. Our clients often face difficulty scaling their applications efficiently without compromising performance or incurring high costs.
App modernization is about future-proofing the application landscape by building and deploying cloud and/or web-based apps to meet growing needs. This helps make existing apps simpler, more resilient, and ready to scale.
Clients who use our app modernization services , aren’t necessarily starting from zero. Many have unfinished application projects that need an efficient path to the finish line. Insight’s approach enables organizations to optimize their app landscape by reducing tech debt, cost, and overall risk in the business.

Many businesses have started integrating AI tools into their application landscapes to maximize productivity and performance. But taking advantage of the power of AI can be a challenge. Integrating new apps with existing systems can lead to complex technical roadblocks and workflow disruptions. Plus, AI tooling can be expensive, especially without a clear understanding of the total cost of ownership or ROI. And, once new AI capabilities are implemented, it can be difficult to meet security and compliance requirements.
For businesses facing these challenges, intelligent apps can help. Intelligent apps leverage AI, machine learning, and other cutting-edge technology to accelerate data-driven innovation. Using intelligent apps, businesses can take advantage of AI-powered insights to expand market presence, grow revenue, and drive strategic value.
As many IT teams know, the app Developer Experience (DevEx) can be challenging. Resource constraints such as limited budgets, expertise, and technology can hinder the app development process while selecting the right app development tools and solutions can become overwhelming.
Employing an end-to-end DevEx strategy can boost developer productivity and cut delays in bringing new features and products to market. With best-in-class solutions and tools for app development, businesses can drive revenue growth, lower costs, and go to market faster with fewer errors — which all ladders up to helping them achieve their business goals.
