The word “legacy” when referring to systems is often seen as bad, making you think of old and dusty outdated technology. However, a legacy system is defined as “applications, platforms, hardware setups, programming languages, and other technologies that have been superseded by newer options.” Legacy is simply referring to the age of the technology and if an older technology is still in use, that usually because it works!
In this episode, William Jolly joins Matt to talk about legacy applications, what they are, and why they’re still used. Every business has a unique timeline and budget when it comes to modernizing legacy applications, so William will also walk the audience through when they should update their systems or just start fresh with a new system.
