I've been trying to find honest, aggregated data on software modernization outcomes and I can't.
There are vendor case studies everywhere claiming massive improvements. There are conference talks with beautiful architecture diagrams. But there's very little real data on what engineering teams actually experienced — timelines, outcomes, what worked, what blew up, what they'd do differently.
So I'm trying to collect it.
Running a short independent study (3 min survey) focused specifically on:
- What the actual measurable outcomes were within 12 months
- Which modernization approach was used
- What the biggest challenge was
- What you'd do differently in hindsight
Looking for CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Engineering Directors, or similar who've led a modernization initiative at a mid-market or enterprise org in the last 2–3 years.
No vendor affiliation, no sales pitch. Results get published as a free public report and shared with every participant first.
If that's you: https://forms.gle/paD8w5Q8yWUWD9Ro7
If it's not, I am still genuinely curious what your experience has been. What did modernization actually deliver for your team? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
