As established products become obsolete, the outdated technology catalyzes product support and upgrades difficult and costly. In an effort to build a product available to a wider segment of potential customers and to retain the key customer segment, many business owners look forward to migrate their product to a mainstream technology and new platform.
Legacy applications are at the heart of the business operations of many companies. IT managers, saddled with budgetary constraints, may fall into the trap of relying on what seem like stable applications. However, if these applications get too far out of step with business needs, the impact can be disastrous.
The problem today is to get a full picture of the risks and rewards involved in transforming legacy systems. Legacy systems are inflexible, have multiple applications written in various languages (often without proper documentation) and can be detrimental to a business and its growth. However, if the legacy system serves current needs, there is little motivation for a CIO to invest in replacing the technology. In addition, it is rarely practical to replace the entire system with a newer system; there will be parts of the legacy system that will continue to be relevant in the future. However certain elements need to be changed to enable the organisation to grow and remain efficient. As a result, a combination of migration, rationalisation and retention of legacy systems is the key to the success of transformation.
When it comes to modernizing the current application portfolio there are a lot of options. Companies can choose to leave the applications where they are, exposing them as Web services to participate in a larger SOA Eco system. Some enterprises choose to rehost their applications to a lower cost environment like .Net, Java or Unix.
