FAQ

What is legacy software modernization?
Arrow down

Legacy software modernization means transforming outdated systems to meet modern technological and business standards. It can involve rewriting code, migrating to new platforms, or integrating with cloud infrastructure. The main goal is to improve performance, security, and usability. Modernization helps organizations adapt to today’s fast-changing digital landscape.

What does legacy system integration mean?
Arrow down

Legacy system integration is the process of connecting old, outdated software systems with modern applications, platforms, or databases. The goal is to preserve existing business functionality while improving performance and flexibility. This allows organizations to maintain continuity without full replacement of legacy infrastructure. It’s a critical step for companies transitioning toward digital transformation.

How do APIs help in integrating legacy systems?
Arrow down

APIs act as bridges that enable data exchange between legacy and modern applications. They allow systems to communicate without altering the core code of the legacy software. This approach reduces complexity and speeds up modernization. API-driven integration also supports scalability and easier maintenance in the long run.

What is the difference between legacy systems and modern applications?
Arrow down

Legacy systems are older software or hardware platforms that continue to perform essential business functions but rely on outdated technology. Modern applications, on the other hand, use current frameworks, cloud infrastructure, and integration capabilities. They are typically more scalable, secure, and user-friendly. Legacy systems often have rigid architectures that limit flexibility, while modern solutions emphasize adaptability and automation. The contrast lies in how each supports innovation, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
