Legacy system modernization services that support your business growth
What is a legacy system, and when should you modernize it?
A legacy system is an outdated software application or technology that continues to be utilized despite no longer being able to meet the needs of the business using it.
Such legacy systems often rely on obsolete technologies and legacy languages, making it difficult to integrate them with contemporary software solutions built with modern programming languages (including new off-the-shelf software).
Legacy software can also rely on outdated frameworks and libraries that lack modern functionalities, hinder innovation, are difficult to maintain, and pose a risk to data security.
As businesses grow and change, the need to modernize legacy applications becomes critical for ensuring continued operational efficiency, maintaining competitiveness, and satisfying security needs.
