Drawbacks of Legacy
Software
While your company’s existing systems may have served you well in the past, we’d be willing to bet they haven’t grown with you the way you’d hoped. The software that once kept your business running like clockwork is now holding you back. Here are a few key reasons to consider software modernization and legacy software migration.
  • Cost of
    Maintenance
    Like a beat-up old car that lands in the shop every other month, legacy software systems require significant maintenance just to keep them running. At a certain point, the cost (in both money and time) of maintaining the old system starts to outweigh the costs of starting over.
  • Inflexibility
    While your old system may have suited your organization’s needs perfectly when it was first installed, as your company has grown, it’s struggled to keep up. Legacy software is seldom built with enough flexibility and configurability to keep up with shifting needs — at least not without heavy investments and plenty of custom coding.
  • Security and
    Compliance Gaps
    As data security needs have evolved and compliance measures have increased, legacy systems have become more and more risky — increasingly vulnerable to data leaks and security slipups.
  • Incompatibility
    Many older software systems are built on technology that is no longer widely used today — and by developers who are no longer in business. As such, businesses often find that, when they do want to integrate their legacy systems with newer components and systems, the old technology is incompatible with the new. The workarounds required to achieve the desired capabilities tend to result in fragile patchwork jobs that aren’t very efficient or resilient.
  • Customer & Employee Dissatisfaction
    When legacy systems slow down internal processes, customers start to see delays in front-end interactions — and maybe even errors in fulfillment, communication, or billing. The result is weakened loyalty and negative buzz around your business. And internally, when employees have to spend significant time coaxing the software, they have less time and energy to spend on their “real” work, and they’re less likely to be satisfied in their jobs.

Legacy Software Replacement

Algothic’s dedicated team of software engineers is well-versed in helping our clients bring their systems up to date by replacing them in a thoughtful, methodical way that’s oriented toward business outcomes, preserves existing data and information, and minimizes blackout time.
  • Evolutionary
    Approach
    While pulling the plug on the old system entirely and replacing it with a new one right away is certainly an option, we prefer an evolutionary approach to legacy software migration — replacing one component at a time (starting with the most problematic) in order to prevent disruption by minimizing the time your organization spends offline.
  • Data & Logic
    Preservation
    Replacing legacy systems with new software is a delicate process, as so much data and process information are embedded in those systems. Our careful, systematic approach preserves your business processes and leaves your information intact.
  • Cutting-Edge
    Technology
    While your legacy software may have struggled to integrate with modern systems, your new systems will be built using current technologies that are designed to play well with others and flexible enough to evolve with your organization.
  • Sleek, Intuitive
    User Experience
    A key component of customer and employee satisfaction, as well as general productivity, is a system’s user experience. Our thoughtful designers create attractive interfaces that allow our clients to be much more productive, with much less headache.
  • Full System
    Integration
    Redundancy is a key issue with many legacy systems — especially those that include many different components all stitched together. As we work to replace your systems, we also work to eliminate that redundancy, running every component off of one database to eliminate the frustration (and risk of error) that comes with employees having to enter and manage data on multiple platforms.
  • Operations
    Consolidation
    Beyond data management, our state-of-the-art replacements for your legacy systems will automate workflows, optimize processes, and consolidate tasks, decreasing the time spent on busywork and systems management and increasing the time spent focusing on the core of the business.
  • Focus on Business
    Outcomes
    Speaking of the core of the business, when we design the systems to replace your outdated software, our expert business advisors work together with your team and our developers to understand the business outcomes you’re looking for and create a solution that will empower your organization to achieve its most pressing goals.

  • Identify Gaps

    You first need to look at how big the gap is between the tasks your system can complete vs what you need to do now and in the future.

  • Currently Capacity

    You need to consider the software’s real-time capabilities, processing speed, and ability such as mobile devices, or application integration.

  • Current Problems

    Legacy system often have non-existent or insubstantial documentation, no testing, application depending on outdated frameworks, libraries, or technologies and confusing, inconsistent code.

  • Your Needs

    It can be tempting to rebuild the system from the ground up, and while this can be hugely beneficial and result in great gains in ROI, it will also require a substantial upfront investment.

  • Make a Decision

    So how do you decide between a partial and complete rebuild? We can take a look at your system and software.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does a software system need modernization?

There is no strict rule, but generally, a system needs to be modernized or replaced when the technology that it was built on has been discontinued, the performance or functionality of the system is no longer up to par, or further enhancement would require more investment than building a new one from scratch.

Can we reuse something from my legacy system?

The main value of a good legacy system is its business logic, which can and should be maintained in the new system, though process automation capabilities will be upgraded. In some cases, a database can also be reused. Usually, however, the code cannot, especially if it was created on a different technology.

What are the benefits of modernizing a software system?

Replacing a legacy system with a new one allows the owner to choose any technology with a sufficiently long lifespan. New technologies will provide speed, security, and usability that legacy systems built on old technology cannot achieve. Additionally, creating a modern replacement for a legacy system allows owners to consider any functionality changes and upgrades that weren’t on the table at the time the legacy system was created.
