Legacy Systems – When to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em

by | Apr 3, 2024

Legacy systems. Every organization has one.  Some are tucked away, humming along and running smaller tasks in the background.  Others are the backbone of your entire infrastructure.  These often represent a double-edged sword to the organizations that own them.

On the positive side, these systems are generally reliable and predictable and get the job done.  On the negative side, they are often inflexible and archaic and staff lack the training to implement fixes.  Migrations to newer infrastructure can be costly and time-consuming.  This can leave you in a pickle.

For years, sometimes decades, these legacy systems always seem to be the smaller fish to fry. There is always something more important that staff need to devote time to.  Everyone always talks about how the legacy system needs to be upgraded before disaster strikes, but it never seems to come to fruition.  These systems often play critical roles in the journey of your data – too archaic and confusing to maintain, while simultaneously being too important and confusing to replace.  

Your staff are pulled in dozens of directions at once, without the bandwidth to focus on these legacy systems.  If you had the internal resources to upgrade these legacy systems, then it would have been done years ago.  

This is where Seamless Integration Group can shine.  We have both the expertise and products you need to replace or upgrade these systems while ensuring the new system integrates smoothly with the rest of your technology stack.  Give us a call, tell us your problems, and hear our solutions.
