Legacy System Migration

As organizations adapt to remain competitive, their products, services and business processes need the ability to change quickly.

IT departments with a multitude of legacy systems are struggling to respond to these business demands, and in addition are facing increasing cost of ownership for these legacy applications.

Addressing the challenges of refreshing the corporate application portfolio plays an important role in the management of IT assets for businesses. Having such a strategy is becoming increasingly important in today’s complex IT landscape – executing on that strategy in an efficient manner whilst offering service level improvements is crucial.

We have a proven reputation for migrating complex bespoke systems from a range of legacy technologies to an n-tiered service oriented solution enabling seamless secure integration with external organizations, such as clients and suppliers.

We assist our clients in defining their migration strategies. A well planned migration strategy can mean the difference between a costly failure and a successful replacement program providing:

Greater business agility – allowing changes in business processes to be rapidly reflected within applications.
Decreased operating costs and lower risk – scalable service oriented architected solutions require less maintenance and lower cost of ownership.
Improved staff resourcing – providing leading technology solutions will improve staff retention and ease the burden of recruiting appropriately skilled resource.
