Sunsetting Legacy Systems
Today’s tech-fueled world and the need to upgrade and modernize outdated legacy systems has become more pressing than ever. Businesses that cling to legacy systems risk falling behind the competition, facing security vulnerabilities, and hindering their growth potential. As a tech enthusiast and expert in artificial intelligence and data management, I have seen firsthand the transformative power of embracing innovative solutions to address the challenges of legacy systems. Let me share with you a scenario where the approach of sunsetting legacy systems could be a game-changer in revitalizing your business operations.
Scenario: Imagine Acme Corporation, a global leader in the manufacturing industry, has been relying on legacy systems for decades to manage their supply chain and production processes. These outdated systems are costly to maintain, prone to errors, and lack the agility needed to respond to market demands swiftly. As a result, Acme Corporation is struggling to stay competitive and meet the evolving needs of their customers.
Cost savings from legacy application decommissioning: Just like in the classic movie Casablanca, where every decision made had a significant impact on the characters’ lives, every decision made in business can have a significant impact on the company’s bottom line. By sunsetting legacy systems and decommissioning inactive applications, Acme Corporation can unlock significant cost savings. A study by the Compliance, Governance, and Oversight Council revealed that organizations could save an average of $40,000 annually by decommissioning inactive applications, with larger enterprise-class applications potentially yielding savings exceeding $120,000 per year.
