“In my modernization programs—we anchor everything on measurable KPIs at three layers.At a strategic level, we reduce onboarding from 3–5 days to under 30 minutes, move cloud adoption from 20% to 80%, and cut incidents by 40–60%.At a tactical level, we drive microservices adoption to 70–80%, API coverage to 90%, and eliminate tech debt by more than half.Operationally, we improve TPS from 800 to over 8000, achieve <20 minutes MTTR, and automate 70%+ of testing.These KPIs ensure modernization delivers business value, not just tech transformation.”
