Legacy Applications

But you still need it!

Older applications often still hold value for specific business needs. We’re here to help assess whether your legacy application can be effectively maintained, upgraded, or integrated to continue benefiting your organization.

WHY ARE YOU KEEPING IT AROUND?

  • Cost Efficiency: Replacing a legacy application can be expensive and time-consuming. Maintaining the existing system may be more cost-effective, especially if it still meets your business needs.

  • Familiarity: Users are often comfortable with legacy systems. This familiarity can lead to increased productivity and reduce the learning curve associated with new systems.

  • Stability: Legacy applications, if well-maintained, can be stable and reliable. They may have been in use long enough to have ironed out many bugs and issues.

  • Integration with Existing Systems: Legacy applications may be deeply integrated with other systems, making them difficult to replace without disrupting business operations.

  • Data Integrity: They often hold valuable historical data that may not be easily transferable to a new system. Retaining the application can help preserve this data.

  • Customization: Legacy applications may have been heavily customized to fit specific business processes. A new system may not replicate these customizations easily.

  • Compliance and Regulation: In some industries, legacy systems may be necessary to meet regulatory requirements or industry standards.

  • Gradual Transition: Maintaining a legacy application allows for a phased approach to migration, giving you time to develop and test a new system without rushing the transition.
