Legacy Maintenance

A legacy system is an old computer system or application programme or an associated database that has been in operation for a long time and whose functions are too essential to be disrupted by upgrading or integrating with another system or as per the contract has to be maintained and supported until a given expiry date.

Typically, organisations incur a huge expense maintaining the same in terms of finding the resources who has the given skill set, the cost of hosting such a legacy hardware and application/database, the support cost, the need for Green IT (where the legacy hardware and software supported on them add to the increased carbon footprint). Adding the current economic slowdown to the equation makes the whole process an expensive affair.

S7 Software offers distinct advantages through our Legacy software maintenance programme, specifically designed for ISVs to maintain their legacy products and for enterprises to maintain their legacy applications and databases and to support their clients.
