Most businesses today have a significant presence of legacy applications, which are defined as applications based on older technologies and hardware, such as outdated operating system, software, mainframes etc.
Such legacy applications will start to incur unnecessary high cost when businesses try to prolong the value of these legacy applications due to having already invested a significant amount of resources for it. However, due to the complexity or lack of knowledge by businesses about these legacy applications, your business may suffer from various challenges due to these legacy applications such as:
- Lack of system updates and support due to End Of Life announcement (EOL)
- Poor Agility – Unable to launch and run swiftly or lacking in new features
- High maintenance costs – out of production hardware components cost 200-300% more than new components
- Lack of knowledge support (Any errors on legacy applications cost more to troubleshoot)
- Unable to move data and business process forward due to complexity of migration
