Legacy or outdated systems exist in many organizations. They are known to have many undesirable characteristics:

• Risks of system grinding to a halt without any notice with difficulties in resumption of its services;
• Such systems are often more costly to maintain;
• Lacks the flexibility to work with new technologies;
• Higher information security risks.

An organization can either choose to keep a legacy systems and buy time to plan for a replacement or replace the legacy system in one go. In either case, engaging a professional team that is conversant with the old technologies would often be a valuable risk management measure.

Strategic Systems Consultants Ltd has a technical team that is conversant with a wide variety of technical environments, including skills that have gone out of fashion. We have completed migrations that involved legacy technical skills like PowerBuilder, Informix, Progress, Crystal Report, and even COBOL.

Our legacy system migration services include:

• Planning, risk management and associated consulting services;
• Reverse engineer systems to provide technical documentations;
• Design and implementation of migration projects;
• Regular system health-checks;
• Improve legacy system's integration capabilities.

Start thinking about your legacy systems. The question is, paraphrasing Shakespeare, "to keep or not to keep?"
