Move Legacy systems and custom software to New 'Codeless' WEB Apps

These systems become legacy systems because they were originally either bespoke systems or a heavily customised package. If they were still a package solution they would not become classified as legacy. Where packages are modified so much that it is no longer feasible to move to a new version of a package then these systems also become legacy.

Legacy systems are commonly found at the heart of many successful businesses doing something that is not available in package form and because they deal with the peculiarities of a given company in a given market they often have a much longer life than other systems despite the difficulties that they develop as they age.

Legacy Systems Maintenance and Budget

Legacy systems hang around until they become so expensive to maintain and the skills available are so diminished that there is no choice but to move them forward to a new architecture. Of course that new architecture should  now be that of a web application.  If your budget for maintaining a legacy system is greater than £5k a year then why not talk to us about converting that app to the Online Software era and saving your budget and money and you may even get a one year ROI.

Custom software - Traditional versus the WEBenableIT approach

The traditional route to a new software system is

  • Scoping
  • Specification
  • Development
  • System Testing
  • UAT
  • Debugging
  • Go Live

The  lower risk, faster and much less expensive WEBenableIT route is as follows

  • Scoping 
  • Design
  • Prototyping
  • UAT
  • Go Live 
Also you dont need another server or people to administer the system, you just login online
