Legacy Code Migration

Why phase out legacy software?

There is nothing wrong with legacy in itself. Legacy systems can often last for years, provided they meet modern security requirements and can be linked to modern systems. However, there comes a time when that is no longer possible:

• You want to innovate as an organization, but the old software stands in the way of that renewal;
• You want to unlock real-time data via an app, but your current IT is an obstacle;
• You have high license costs that can be drastically reduced by replacing software;
• In recent years you have implemented so many quick fixes and improvements, that the complicated structures have made it difficult to develop new features within the same code.

Transforming legacy systems into flexible and rapidly innovative software is not something you can do in one day. After all, you have to deal with some challenges:

• Software development is and remains complex;
• Your existing IT infrastructure is not built on change and innovation, but on stability and continuity;
• Current IT systems are not flexible and are often organized in silos, whereby the website, webshop, CRM, etc. are not designed to exchange data.

At Saunders Digital, we help organizations solve these challenges to innovate faster and more efficiently with or without legacy systems, roll out new products and services and improve the online experience of your customers. We call that Digital Agility.
