Why Legacy Software Modernization Is Essential for Your Needs?

Do these challenges sound familiar?

Cost of Maintenance

Like a beat-up old car that lands in the shop every other month, legacy software systems require significant maintenance just to keep them running. At a certain point, the cost (in both money and time) of maintaining the old system starts to outweigh the costs of starting over.

Inflexibility

While your old system may have suited your organization's needs perfectly when it was first installed, as your company has grown, it's struggled to keep up. Legacy software is seldom built with enough flexibility and configurability to keep up with shifting needs — at least not without heavy investments and plenty of custom coding.

Security and Compliance Gaps

As data security needs have evolved and compliance measures have increased, legacy systems have become more and more risky — increasingly vulnerable to data leaks and security slipups.

Incompatibility

Many older software systems are built on technology that is no longer widely used today — and by developers who are no longer in business. As such, businesses often find that, when they do want to integrate their legacy systems with newer components and systems, the old technology is incompatible with the new. The workarounds required to achieve the desired capabilities tend to result in fragile patchwork jobs that aren't very efficient or resilient.

Customer & Employee Dissatisfaction

When legacy systems slow down internal processes, customers start to see delays in front-end interactions — and maybe even errors in fulfilment, communication, or billing. The result is weakened loyalty and negative buzz around your business. Internally, when employees have to spend significant time coaxing the software, they have less time and energy to spend on their “real” work, and they're less likely to be satisfied in their jobs.

Software that improves access to clean water

Explore how a custom software application lets developing countries' populations access safe drinking water. A startup with the ambitious goal of creating decentralized water systems in developing countries approached Syberry to engineer a web and desktop application that helps to provide uncontaminated water supplies in third-world countries. Despite the low-power limitations, we maximized the app’s functionality and developed features using just two gigabytes of computer memory.

how it works

Our approach

Syberry's dedicated team of software engineers is well-versed in helping our clients bring their legacy systems up to date by modernizing and/or replacing them in a thoughtful, methodical way that's oriented toward business outcomes, preserves existing data and information, and minimizes blackout time.

  • Evolutionary Approach

    While pulling the plug on the old system entirely and replacing it with a new one right away is certainly an option, we prefer an evolutionary approach to legacy software migration — replacing one component at a time (starting with the most problematic) in order to prevent disruption by minimizing the time your organization spends offline.

  • Cutting-Edge Technology

    While your legacy software may have struggled to integrate with modern systems, your new systems will be built using current technologies that are designed to play well with others and flexible enough to evolve with your organization.

  • Focus on Business Outcomes

    Speaking of the core of the business, when we design the systems to replace your outdated software, our expert business advisors work together with your team and our developers to understand the business outcomes you're looking for and create a solution that will empower your organization to achieve its most pressing goals.

  • Data and Logic Preservation

    Replacing legacy systems with new software is a delicate process, as so much data and process information are embedded in those systems. Our careful, systematic approach preserves your business processes and leaves your information intact.

  • Full System Integration

    Redundancy is a key issue with many legacy systems — especially those with many different components all stitched together. As we work to replace your systems, we also work to eliminate that redundancy, running every component off of one database to eliminate the frustration (and risk of error) that comes with employees having to enter and manage data on multiple platforms.

  • Operations Consolidation

    Beyond data management, our state-of-the-art replacements for your legacy systems will automate workflows, optimize processes, and consolidate tasks, decreasing the time spent on busywork and systems management and increasing the time spent focusing on the core of the business.

FAQ's

Common questions about legacy software modernization

  • General
  • Costs & Timeline
  • Quality

What is legacy software modernization?

Legacy system modernization is the process of updating or replacing outdated software in order to ensure your tech ecosystem is supporting, not hindering, growth.

What are the benefits of modernizing a software system?

Replacing a legacy system with a new one allows the owner to choose any technology with a sufficiently long lifespan. New technologies will provide speed, security, and usability that legacy systems built on old technology cannot achieve. Additionally, creating a modern replacement for a legacy system allows owners to consider any functionality changes and upgrades that weren't on the table at the time the legacy system was created.

When does a software system need modernization?

There is no strict rule, but generally, a system needs to be modernized or replaced when the technology that it was built on has been discontinued, the performance or functionality of the system is no longer up to par, or further enhancement would require more investment than building a new one from scratch.
