About This Event

About the Session: 
Modernization is often viewed as a technology upgrade, but true transformation goes beyond code. Legacy systems continue to power critical enterprise operations, yet they often introduce friction, inconsistency, trust issues, and fragmented experiences for users.
This session explores modernization through a UX lens uncovering how technical debt, architecture decisions, organizational constraints, and outdated workflows impact user experience. Through real-world examples, discussions, and a hands-on workshop, participants will learn how experience modernization requires rethinking not just interfaces, but the systems and decisions behind them.

How to identify hidden UX debt within legacy systems
Why modernization is more than visual redesign or UI refresh
The relationship between architecture, performance, trust, and usability
