Modernising legacy application software is an important part of maintaining your systems. A legacy system is something that is simply older technology that is out of date or unsupported. The many years of experience our teams have with different technologies will get your system up to date. Taking advantage of our skills is easy and will make all the different to your day to day working.
Systems are always changing, and it is easy to find yourself with ones that have fallen out of development. Some can still be used for years, and others have weaknesses that only highly skilled staff can deal with. With languages evolving too, you get to a point where you need expert help. Our staff are skilled in these systems and can ensure yours is the right one for your business.
There are some risks when you choose not to update your legacy system. These are worth considering whatever stage you are at. They can develop bugs or become unsupported and these are difficult to fix except by experts. Even where they are supported, how many of the monthly patches and upgrades are regularly downloaded by your business? Also, it may be inflexible to new software because it is just getting more and more out of date and thus, issues are more difficult to fix if this is even a possibility at all.
You may also hold certain certifications that require you always use the latest version of some or all of your technologies to remain accredited - having out of support legacy systems could prevent you from maintaining your certifications and harm your chances of securing certain contracts.
Acting today to modernise and improve your legacy system can make an immediate impact on your business. Ask your workforce if everything runs perfectly on your existing system. If the answer is no then our knowledgeable team can help.
