There are a bunch of frameworks from Gartner to help with this such as https://www.gartner.com/document-reader/document/4023205?ref=solrAll&refval=442438896 I would use a framework to help organise those applications.

Quick answer, those best suited with features that make them most “cloud ready”, that can do so at the lowest cost.

Factors like data readiness (nature of data, encryption, and the like would also play a role).

Apps that are about to require a major investment in time or money should go first:
- in need of hardware upgrade
- in need of a major software or architecture upgrade

As mentioned above, apps that would benefit most from scalability/elasticity should also be prioritized.

The more legacy  (and heavy) an application is, the more beneficial it would be.

The ones that will benefit the most from the elasticity and scalability of cloud infrastructure. Lifting and Shifting a traditional n-tier monolith will result in increased costs and subsequent frustration.

Has anyone in the community seen credible signals or speculation about Broadcom's next acquisition targets? We're particularly interested in whether companies like ServiceNow or Dynatrace might be on their radar, and how others are preparing for such scenarios.

I wanted to ask the peer community for recommendations on creative automation tools -- vendors similar to Sesimi.  We want to auto-generate digital ads and print materials like brochures, signage, etc. from branded templates. Ideally, pulling imagery from our DAM (Bynder). Figma Buzz has functionality that’s close, allowing users to upload a spreadsheet of info that populates the template, ex. populating 20 brochures in one action. But the output still requires a manual clean up by the creative team.
