Event details

The session will include expert presentations from AWS and Sopra Steria, a live demonstration, roundtable discussion and networking lunch.

About the event

In partnership with AWS, Sopra Steria is bringing together senior technology and transformation leaders to explore how organisations can reduce the cost, complexity and risk associated with legacy technology estates while creating stronger foundations for future growth.

Legacy technology continues to present a significant challenge for many organisations, increasing operational complexity, slowing transformation efforts and limiting the ability to respond to changing business needs. This discussion-led event will bring together industry experts and peers to share practical perspectives on modernisation, governance and risk reduction, helping attendees better understand how to modernise with confidence while maintaining business continuity.

Attendees will hear how organisations are balancing innovation with stability, reducing technical debt and using cloud and AI-enabled approaches to accelerate modernisation outcomes across complex technology estates.

This event marks the first in a series of executive discussions hosted by Sopra Steria and AWS, focused on helping organisations navigate the challenges of legacy technology, modernisation and digital transformation. Future sessions will explore a range of topics shaping the technology agenda, creating an ongoing forum for collaboration, insight sharing and peer discussion.
