Moving an existing application to a new development language or to the web is often
a major undertaking and opportunity
to move the application into a new realm, redesigning it and positioning
it for future growth.
Organizations often find that satisfying the immediate needs of their existing customers
takes most of their attention and finding the time and undivided focus to migrate
their existing application to new technology challenging. This is a common problem
within business and there is an excellent book on the subject, “The Innovators Dilemma”
by Clayton Christensen, a professor at Harvard University. Dr Christensen studied multiple
industries and found the same consistent pattern occurs around innovation - That the
current industry leaders within a market are rarely able to move across a shift in technology.
They usually died because they were focused on satisfying their existing customer’s
incremental improvement needs while the next generation, unencumbered by customers,
focus their full attention on innovation.
You may have heard of the story at Apple about the original Apple Mac team. At the
time Apple were making boat loads of money from the Apple II series (revenues hit
a billion dollars in 1983). They formed a team to create an altogether new type
of computer with what at the time was a radically different operating system. The
team was put in a separate building, isolated from the rest of the company
and none of the existing company was allowed into the building. That’s how
Apple innovated the Mac.
