Introduction

• A legacy software can work really well for your
  business, if not ignored. Else there are chances
  that it becomes more of a liability. Sometimes
  the key issue for legacy software management is
  the quality of code.
• If proper maintenance of a legacy application is
  not done then the outcome can be extremely
  unfavourable. There are many incidents of legacy
  application failures that happen on a continuous
  basis, if the application is not maintained
  properly.

  maintenance and management of a legacy software
  application
• Improved profitability of the business
• Improved level of customer service and customer
  satisfaction

Pitfalls of Not Maintaining a Legacy Software
6
Productivity Issues

• If the legacy software in not maintained
  properly, then the business suffers the risk of
  reduced business productivity.
• Handling a variety of data sources and creating a
  link between them becomes big challenge if the
  legacy applications are not managed properly.

7
Resource Management

• Without a legacy software in place, it is hard to
  manage the company resources in the most
  appropriate manner. The employees of the company
  have to stretch keep the manual processes going.
• On the other hand, a fully automated and
  maintained ERP solution ensures that most
  processes can be automated and the number of
  resources and hours can be optimized.

8
Problems With Integration

• Integration of a legacy software with other
  latest SaaS based applications becomes difficult
  if not maintained and managed properly. Many
  organisations face huge issues because their
  legacy applications become redundant because they
  cant be integrated with other apps.
• This leads to increase in the number of systems
  and processes in managing the legacy application.
  

9
Planning Issues

• Since existing tools become redundant, one starts
  to plan for investing in newer latest software.
• If solutions are not integrated properly then the
  new work force is not equipped to handle
  different types of applications being used in the
  company.
