The Legacy Modernization Guide: Expert Tips and Case Studies
Sometimes, companies cling to old, outdated, and obsolete software or hardware, even though the market offers newer and more efficient tools. These systems are often critical to day-to-day operations and may have existed for many years. However, relying on outdated technologies that are no longer supported can limit your business processes and innovation cultivation.
Just like an old car struggles to keep up with modern electric vehicles in terms of efficiency and performance, legacy systems lag behind contemporary technologies. That’s why Netflix migrated its legacy systems to AWS and GE Oil & Gas – from a legacy ERP system to a modern cloud-based solution, enabling rapid scalability and improved performance.
Failing software modernization can put companies at a significant competitive disadvantage. In this article, we’ll discuss the challenges of app modernization, legacy migration, cloud migration, and success stories to help you avoid the mistakes of Blockbuster, Kodak, and other companies that failed to modernize their legacy systems.
Problems of Legacy Applications Requiring Modernization and Migration
Migrating from a legacy system to a modern one can be challenging, time-consuming, and costly. This process requires careful planning and a comprehensive migration strategy. Evaluating the current system’s features, the new system’s capabilities and the data migration process is essential.
Legacy applications often come with a host of issues that necessitate app modernization or migration:
- Technological obsolescence: Outdated technology that is no longer supported or updated, making it difficult to find parts and skilled professionals
- High maintenance costs: Maintaining a legacy system is costly due to the need for specialized skills and frequent repairs
- Security risks: Without application modernization, updates, and patches, the legacy system becomes vulnerable to security threats
- Lack of flexibility: Inability to adapt to new business needs or integrate with modern software development.
- Poor application performance and scalability: Struggles to handle increasing data loads and user demands.
- Compliance issues: A legacy system often fails to meet current regulatory standards, leading to potential legal consequences.
- Data silos: Isolated data storage hinders decision-making and operational efficiency.
- User experience: A legacy system typically lacks intuitive, user-friendly interfaces, reducing productivity.
Why Application Modernization is Absolutely Necessary: Real-Life Cases
Netflix and GE Oil & Gas’s success stories show that app modernization is essential. However, the companies that postponed application modernization or stuck with a legacy system show how neglecting application re-engineering can affect a successful business.
Blockbuster
Once a leader in video rentals, Blockbuster failed to modernize its legacy software and adapt to the digital age. While Netflix embraced online streaming and advanced technologies, Blockbuster clung to its brick-and-mortar model. This inability to compete with Netflix’s scalable streaming service led to a dramatic loss in market share, culminating in Blockbuster’s bankruptcy and store closures in 2010.
Nokia
You might remember Nokia as a leader in the mobile phone market. However, it was slow to modernize its legacy system and hardware to compete with the rise of smartphones from Apple and Samsung.
Nokia’s outdated systems and failure in application modernization quickly led to a massive loss of market share. In 2013, Nokia sold its mobile phone business to Microsoft after struggling to regain its market share.
App Modernization or Migration: Which is Better for Your Business?
App migration involves moving system functionality to an entirely new application with a modern tech stack and architecture. On the other hand, application modernization upgrades an existing system’s components, such as the user interface, integrations, databases, and infrastructure, over multiple phases.
One method changes the platform, and the other – extends the life of a known legacy system. Migration makes sense for older, business-critical systems needing a complete overhaul. Modernizing applications is suited for systems that still have a solid architectural core but need improvements.
How to Create a Migration Strategy: A 6-Step Guide
As with all business processes, marketing efforts, and software updates, application migration requires a detailed strategy. In this section of the guide, we’ll explore six essential steps to successful app migration and data modernization.
Assessment and planning
Start your migration strategy with a thorough assessment of your current legacy system. We always recommend opting for professional legacy system modernization services with experienced and certified team members. They can help you understand the architecture, functionalities, dependencies, and limitations of the existing setup.
If you’re looking for professional legacy migration services, Glorium Technologies can help you craft a comprehensive migration plan and outline the steps and resources required for the transition.
Design and strategy
Choose the right technologies for your migration. Decide whether to adopt a cloud environment, leverage distributed computing, or implement a hybrid approach. Consider cloud benefits like scalability and cost-efficiency, and select a suitable provider. Develop a blueprint for how the new system will function and integrate with existing components.
We can help you include data modernization by improving data management practices for better quality and security.
Proof of concept (PoC)
We always include this step before proceeding with the full-scale migration. Develop a proof of concept to validate your migration strategy. A PoC allows you to test the feasibility of the migration plan on a smaller scale, identifying potential issues and bottlenecks early in the process.
Use the PoC phase to address application security concerns. Test the security measures implemented in the new system to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
Migration and development
Once the PoC has been successfully completed, proceed to the migration and development phase. This involves executing the migration plan and transferring applications, data, and services to the new system.
During this phase, address any issues that arise and adjust the migration plan as necessary. Implement distributed computing practices to enhance the new system’s performance and scalability.
Testing and validation
Once the migration is complete, conduct rigorous testing and validation to ensure the new system operates as expected. Our QA engineers use security testing to identify vulnerabilities and ensure that application security measures effectively protect data.
It’s always efficient to involve end-users in the testing process to gather feedback and identify any usability issues.
Deployment and support
The final step is to deploy the new system into the production environment and provide ongoing support. Plan the deployment carefully to minimize downtime and disruption to business operations.
Professional legacy migration services can help you provide training and resources to end-users to help them adapt to the new system. They can also establish a support structure to address any questions or issues post-deployment.
