Breaking the Maintenance Cycle: Shifting IT Budget from Operations to Innovation | Kinetic Data
Summary
Most organizations spend the majority of IT budget on maintaining platform-specific SaaS customizations, which creates long-term technical debt and vendor dependence. The article recommends moving business logic and UX into a platform-agnostic experience layer so developers can use standard tools and users get consistent experiences across systems. It advises starting with high-impact customizations to prove value, then using freed resources to invest in AI, analytics, and new digital services. The approach reduces maintenance costs, speeds feature delivery, and gives organizations flexibility to change backend platforms without disrupting users.
