Why modernize Microsoft apps?

Microsoft support ended for Windows Server 2003 operating system on July 14, 2015,
extended support for Windows Server 2008 SP2 will end on Jan 14, 2020
After extended support date, these products will no longer receive:
• Security patches that help protect PCs from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software
• Assisted technical support from Microsoft
• Software and content updates
Other Dynamics
• Finding talent | Employee satisfaction
• Tools/Utilities
• Hardware support
• Expensive extended support cost
• Outdated UI/Features | Lost productivity and business agility
Browser compatibility issues
• Integration issues | Blocks new projects
• Lack of library support | lost developer productivity
• Multiple versions | Data inconsistency | Multiple truths

Public cloud market leaders dominate the Windows segment of the
Infrastructure as a Service Market
IDC estimates AWS accounted for approximately
57.7% of total Windows instances deployed in the
public cloud IaaS market during 2017, followed by
Microsoft Azure at 30.9%. The rest of the market
collectively accounted for the remaining 11.4% of
Windows instances deployed in the public cloud
IaaS market during 2017.
IDC notes the Windows public cloud IaaS market
continues to expand due to the growing usage of
public cloud IaaS among enterprises and the
movement of Windows workloads into public
cloud IaaS.
