App containerization has picked up momentum in recent years as it helps to save costs, time and resources. Resource vendors are available to assist in containerization of one or two apps, but most vendors struggle to execute a large number of app containerization projects with the same skill level and outcomes. As a matter of fact, it’s a manual approach in certain scenarios with a lot of dependencies which is not only time and cost consuming but also prone to errors and miscalculations.

Enterprises that have been running their own data centers for a number of years are skeptical of the benefits associated with cloud. One of the considerations for many enterprises is to be able to build modern applications such that the dependency on a particular cloud stack is minimal, or the interfaces that are depending on the specific cloud are abstracted well.

Lately, enterprise applications are still on-premise based, however, there is a rising trend within the majority of these enterprises to move to the cloud for leveraging the on-demand pricing and scalability. In-line with this trend, we are witnessing an increased demand to move away from perpetual licensing and adopt a SaaS model. Software product vendors are cashing in on the opportunity of transitioning their enterprise apps to be SaaS ready at break-neck speeds.
