Legacy systems: legacy or ticking time bomb?

Exploding costs, lack of compliance, data silos or security leaks. Legacy systems that have grown over the years are now a headache for many reasons. Even more serious is the migration of long-standing IT specialists from the company's own ranks.

As a result, core competence in dealing with technology disappears from the company forever. Through many years of cooperation with various customers, abat knows the reasons - and can also support you with the right service for your requirements.

Investment

Maintaining your system is time-consuming and the costs are sometimes immense. At the same time, an upgrade or a complete transformation seems to be much more expensive - and supposedly out of proportion.

The abat way:

Talk to our experts without obligation and free of charge. Based on an in-depth analysis, we create the basis for financially viable decisions.

Challenge

Change requires courage. If this courage relates to the conversion of an entire system in the company, doubts and resistance arise from within the company's own ranks.

The abat way:

Believing means not knowing. Create facts and convincing arguments with us - for a process that involves everyone in the company.

Resources

Legacy systems sometimes contain know-how from days long gone. Programming languages, tricks of the trade and tricks of the trade are lost, especially when former employees leave. If the heart of your company can neither be maintained nor optimized as a result, a standstill is imminent.

The abat way:
