UPTO: UPDATING LEGACY SYSTEMS
RESTORING STRATEGIC AGILITY TO LEGACY SYSTEMS
Many of the information systems currently in operation within organizations, especially the more complex ones, do not incorporate the latest technological advancements. The fear of evolution is tied to the risk of losing functions that, over time, were integrated into the system. This makes it, although technologically outdated, well-suited to the organizational reality and, therefore, essential for the activities carried out. In the past, it was often this now-obsolete system that provided competitive advantages to the organization. While preserving the practices and culture of the organization, the system is a valuable asset but lacks flexibility.
Almost all IT budgets are consumed by maintenance costs (OPEX) of old/obsolete information systems. This hinders investment in innovation (CAPEX) and reduces competitiveness, efficiency, and agility for organizations.
In addition to the high financial costs, there are other significant costs resulting from maintaining obsolete systems:
- Increased risk of security breaches
- Employee demotivation
- Decreased productivity
- Compromised customer service
- Negative impact on organizational reputation
- Difficulty in data analysis
- Constraints on innovation due to lack of flexibility

Moreover, it guarantees a smooth and secure transition from outdated technological platforms to the latest technologies, without losing the system’s overall coherence and functionalities.
