My guess.. we're talking years of investment in a (presumably monolithic) "huge" Delphi system.
Either spend even more years adding the needed features while fighting the upscale hill.. (especially when introducing bigdata)
..or develop an alternative made out of simpler beasts: clean separation to avoid hydra scenario's. It takes time to beat that, but i see reasons to go away from a huge monolithic beast.

I don't remember hearing that the behemoth will be extended with large(-ish) new modules. It will receive several features though. The truth is that they can't just throw it out the window, especially with global scale clients still using it.
