How to reduce legacy application support costs

Budget bottleneck: constantly rising support costs

Over the years you’ve been investing in the applications, which have become key elements in the workflow of your enterprise. An aged application may continue to operate properly, but with every additional year of utilization it is getting more complicated and expensive to maintain. There are two ways out of this problem: the first - continue to maintain or the second one - replace by conversion to a modern technology in order to reduce application support costs. We consider the second suggestion suites better for the dated applications. Here we provide an explanation as to why.

Plus points of legacy application conversion

Savings Icon

Cut application support expenses significantly

It is critical to ensure that you have the technology and the team in place to work and gain real value in the new business environment. You’ll still have to maintain your application after conversion and need to hire a support engineer to perform the whole set of activities that ensure application availability. But Java, C# or Python application support is nothing like a challenge with obsolete applications maintenance.

High Quality Support Icon

Your HRs don’t look for a needle in a bundle of hay any more

It’s really hard today to hire developers to maintain applications based on unprogressive technologies. Low demand for Delphi, COBOL, PowerBuilder and other programmers causes understaffing. As a consequence, experts with the required skill sets are few and too expensive.

Achieving optimal performance of an app requires a wide range of maintenance activities, such as data integrity, optimal use of database space and performance tuning. These functions should be performed by experts who are aware of the specifics of a particular outdated language. If you are aiming at outsourcing a Delphi programmer or an engineer with a skill set in COBOL or PowerBuilder, you waste a lot of working hours to find a rare and costly professional. While Java, Python and C developers’ market is highly competitive and every company can choose the best one. .

Get an overall budget for innovation

In course of time, your software written decades ago becomes more cost-intensive and exposed to performance risk. Additional application support expenses deprive organizations from the opportunity to modernize. Consequently, the failure to adopt the latest trends makes you fall behind the competitors.

Get a renovated application converted to a new language but with the former structure and enhanced functionality. Don't waise more than a half of a company budget on legacy maintenance any more.

Convert your app efficiently

When you are replacing your legacy platform, you’ll want to organize the conversion project to a high standard from a technical point of view. With our team you can maximize modernization results of application migration to Java, C# or Python. LSMSoft professional conversion skills can contribute to a quality application modernization within time and budget.
