Utilising legacy systems in a modern analytical way
Legacy systems are old or obsolete platforms that are no longer effectively supported by the organisations that built or created them. Maintaining live data and applications these older systems can be an expensive excercise. For one thing, old systems or old versions of systems are rarely supported by providers, and the cost of internally supporting these systems should be weighed against the ongoing value of keeping those systems alive. Unnecessarily maintaining data, software licenses and hardware costs for older systems can also be a considerable burden to an organisations IT department.
Archiving these legacy systems is the obvious solution. However, many organisations still want to access the valuable data hidden inside them, or are concerned it will unnecessarily disrupt operations and productivity across the organisation. Other organisations have inflexible security or maintenance protocols forcing legacy systems to never be decommissioned, and whenever this is brought up, leadership or IT will continually raise flags that force you to continue to use these obsolete systems indefinitely.
As a result, data often remains online in expensive and obsolete applications, or worse, is taken completely offline where its only value is in retention compliance or legal hold.
There is another option.
