| Migration of legacy applications to modern platforms is a pressing requirement for most enterprises and a big challenge at the same time. |
| Every software transformation initiative is fraught with risks and challenges. Lack of documentation, huge code and data, heavily maintained application code, obscure legacy platforms and data loss during migration resulting in unexpected and inaccurate results from applications – are but a few of the hurdles faced. Most of these arise from a improper understanding of the problem and the solution, lack of a strong methodology and the use of tools and utilities developed on the fly that lacks any methodology support. |
| Transformation of legacy applications from diverse legacy platforms and re-hosting them on contemporary technology platforms is an ever-growing need of all organizations. Common reasons are – |
 |
Obsolescence of & lack of support on legacy platforms |
|
High cost of maintaining legacy platforms |
|
Non-availability of skills in legacy platforms |
|
Integration with new age applications |
|
Improvements in portability, manipulability, connectivity |
|
Application modernization |
|
Conformance to modern enterprise application architecture |
|
| Migration of legacy applications to modern, scalable and contemporary technology platforms (relational database, Web interface etc.) can make the applications more maintainable and responsive to changing business requirements while preserving their rich functionality and relevance to an organisation’s’ business practices. |
