Why should the Retirement of Legacy Application be considered?
In the fast pace world of internet, bitcoin, artificial intelligence, machine learning & deep learning; it is difficult to cop up with “what is what”, “what is good & what is not”, “what is real & what is hoax”; let alone catching up with growing competition, thinning margins, rising customer expectations and globalization challenges! While any and all application change its course and underlying structure every three to five years, do you really want to take up a challenge to build your own, maintain & keep up? Do you want to continue to take a chance of learning technology to make a decision between leading edge and bleeding edge! More and more organizations have learnt the lesson in a hard way. If you think that you need to evaluate your course of action in this direction, feel free to get in touch with us. We will be happy to discuss logical options at no cost or obligation on your part. We love challenges and feel good when we create value for you.
Obsolete & Non-supported Technology
By this time, we all have experienced that it doesn’t take more than five years for new technology to replace the old one. Maintaining obsolete technology is so much more expensive in long run than it seems early on.
- Higher upfront capital cost
- Higher on-going infrastructure cost
- Underlying software and hardware platform becomes non-supportive by vendors
- Valuable corporate data is held hostage
- Scalability for further requirements may be dead
- Capacity to grow from where you are is non-existent
Dependency on Employee or Consultants
Often legacy applications are built by an enthusiastic employee early on as a side job, out of passion and having technology as a second nature. Over the course, either the passion dies, or time becomes more valuable!
- Business Risk is high when corporation is dependent on a single employee
- Contractor can throttle the growth of business
- Enhancement requests takes months to get fulfilled
- No documentation and poor support
- Scalability of the application and growth of business demands a complete overhaul of the application
- It’s time to move on!
Disconnection from other Current Applications& Mobile Readiness
Legacy applications are identified when they are not kept up, in pace with rest of the applications in the organization.
- Data integration efforts to new environment doesn’t make sense
- Underlying development platform is being replaced
- Interoperability with other applications is impossible
- No possibilities to extend the application to operate on mobile platforms
- Connectivity, fluidness of data and availability at anytime from anywhere is a necessity and not a luxury any more
- No-one likes to take ownership of upkeeping& business users are suffering
