Replatforming is an inevitable and complex process for businesses, especially as existing software platforms reach their limitations in cost, scale, or performance. At our inaugural on:tech event, IT and business leaders from SMEs and blue-chip brands shared insights into how replatforming can be both a challenge and an opportunity for transformation.

Hosted under the iconic Tyne Bridge at Träkol, the panel featured speakers from Leighton, WorkCast, and DEFRA, who discussed their approaches and key learnings. They highlighted the importance of aligning replatforming efforts with business objectives, engaging stakeholders early, and ensuring that customer needs are central to the process to drive better outcomes.

The event emphasised how replatforming, when approached strategically, can open the door to innovation. By focusing on business goals and involving both internal and external stakeholders, companies can turn the complexity of replatforming into an opportunity for greater scalability and improved system efficiency.
