Is your legacy still running? If yes, it’s good news. Nevertheless, it doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be upgraded. Doing this as fast as possible is not even a question of market competition — it’s a strong necessity to save your business and profit.
Migration to cloud-native solutions is a winning solution to help you operate more efficiently and grow faster. What are the main pain points you can cover with software migration? And how can you benefit in the long run? Read the article below to find out!
The Common Legacy Pitfalls
Do you still believe that your outdated system works well? Check the list of obvious and hidden drawbacks of leveraging obsolete software.
- System upkeep becomes more and more costly. Legacy performance is often limited by outdated libraries, expensive licenses, and on-premise hardware. New features delivery is extremely slow — your time-to-market is poor and you lose potential clients. Moreover, even minor changes are too risky as they can ruin a fragile codebase and you’ll be forced to invest into fixes and patches instead of innovations. Security features and compliance failures will inevitably lead to fines and reputation damages.
- Your team is focused on how to keep the system alive instead of delivering strategic enhancements. Lack of documentation, recurring issues and troubleshooting, dependency on expertise of fewer developers make your team feel frustrated and exhausted. The turnover increases because of burnouts.
- You can’t integrate with modern APis and external platforms as without high-quality reverse engineering it can cause system crashes and vulnerabilities. Automation, CI/СD pipelines, and fast updates are nearly impossible. Say “good buy” to your competitive advantages.
