Modernising legacy systems: Is AI the answer?

We rely on applications to turn data into insight. Over time, organisations have invested in new platforms to modernise these applications. While this approach has delivered benefits, especially when it comes to legacy applications, it’s also introduced new challenges.

In this episode of Transform, we explore how the industry tackles these shifts. GHD’s Tom Bedeman (Data Insights Business Group Leader) and Jon Jarritt (Data & Insights Market Leader) unpack why technology alone rarely fixes data challenges. From platforms layered over legacy systems to automation powered by AI, they explore why insight still breaks down when data lacks clarity and shared meaning.

AI is reducing the cost and time needed to build systems and platforms, making it easier to automate data aggregation and system interoperability. But this pace of progress raises an important question: are we moving too quickly without fixing the foundations? Because with or without AI, insight is only as strong as the data behind it.

Listen to part two of our three-part series on data and tune in to understand the evolution of data insights.
