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. But if these applications get too far out of step with business needs the impact can be substantial, and possibly catastrophic. |

The challenge 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 documentation, and as mentioned earlier, can be catastrophic for a business. However, if it serves current needs, there is little motivation for a CIO to invest in replacing it. In addition, it is not a practical solution to replace the entire system with a newer system. There are parts of the solution that are relevant now and will continue to be relevant in the future. There are parts that need to change. |

Hence a combination of migration, rationalization and retention of legacy systems is key to the success of transformation. |
