Every firm’s IT organization understands that they are sitting on years (or even decades) of technical debt that are increasing short term infrastructure costs and long term security vulnerabilities.

But they are often so busy in the day to day of keeping the lights running that they are unable to take an in depth look under the hood and often don’t even know where to start.
