What is Legacy App Migration?

A Software Application that is still using outdated or obsolete technologies are real challenge for any business, Legacy application migration is the process to migrate such applications to latest and future ready technologies. For example; you can migrate an in-premise enterprise server to a cloud environment.

Moreover, with the lack of certainty of guaranteed positive outcomes, few want to explore new options. But they can’t remain unmoved too because legacy applications do not always serve the benefits of new IT technologies, they require more time, effort and money to manage. In order to transform in this disruptive time, enterprises therefore need to migrate strategically, steadily. We will discuss about this later.

Ready to migrate? Know These Challenges As well

Migration sounds so promising, but the entire process takes time, and has a number of limitations.

User Acceptance

– Legacy users are not very comfortable venturing out of their comfort zone, and they need proper training and orientation to start using the modern system. User resistance can be overcome by gathering periodical feedback and introducing features slowly with scale.

Work flow issue

– is another challenge. If legacy migration is not supportive, and does not address the evolving priorities and demands of end-users, workflow suffers from a number of obstacles.

Old databases

– usually have challenging relational structures. Restructuring the database and mapping a new data model is extremely important to carry out smooth migration

Your existing content management system vendor

– might not be at all happy that you are migrating to its competitor and may not be willing to provide enough insights about how your legacy system is setup.

Removing legacy systems means temporary downtime, leading lost revenue. Enough expertise and resources required to carry out the migration task.

These are some of the core challenges, but it does not mean that businesses should continue using legacy systems. In the age of digital transformation and evolving consumer choices, it is very important to migrate. Companies can take a ‘ iterative’ step which involves migrating a specific function and aligning stakeholders with it. As system familiarity grows, other functions can seamlessly migrated.
