Executive Summary

Tech debt has soared past $1.5 trillion, challenging companies to pay down their share. The key is distinguishing "good" tech debt, which enables agility, from "bad" tech debt, which impedes modernization. CEOs are making it a top priority even as CIOs already struggle to innovate at the pace of the business.

“Technical debt sets the speed limit on change,” says Hendy Harianto, Group CIO at Meratus Group, Southeast Asia’s leading maritime and logistics integrator. “Reducing it is one of the highest-yield investments a company can make.”

In this boardroom conversation Hendy Harianto and tech debt author Sanjiv Purba share real-world lessons on tackling tech debt most effectively, using software mapping and intelligence technology to:

  • Quantify tech debt and manage teams based on facts
  • Separate “good” tech debt from the “bad”
  • Scope and accelerate modernization initiatives
  • Provide AI with context it needs to fix issues
  • Demonstrate software integrity to the business
  • Communicate progress to the board
