Cleaning up your Technology Stack

It’s time for you to open your closet to start spring cleaning. Similarly from a technology perspective, ask yourself,

  • Do I have old applications that need to be cleaned out and modernized?

Obsolete development platforms prevent legacy technologies from meeting the emerging needs of the tech savvy world. Migration of legacy applications to the latest technologies including .NET and Cloud Computing has become an inevitable. When thinking of new technologies, consider a migration methodology which accommodates your legacy technology without hiccups. The Microsoft .NET platform has become the premier choice for migrating legacy technologies like Visual FoxPro (VFP), Visual Basic 6 (VB6), Classic ASP, and Clipper.

The top five reasons why legacy application migration is inevitable:

  • Development and maintenance costs
  • Diminishing pool of skilled resources
  • Difficulty maintaining hardware systems
  • Incompatibility to integrate with new technology systems
  • Inadequate scalability and flexibility

  • Mitigation of business risks and improved system performance
  • Ease of maintenance of supported applications
