Is Your Organisation Experiencing Legacy Issues?
Have you heavily invested in your legacy software over the years, but find that they no longer deliver the performance or functionality you require?
Version 1 helps customers across the UK and Ireland derive optimal value from existing systems.

We don’t believe you should let the investment you have already made go to waste – we can help you to modernise your core business systems and legacy applications to work in the way you need them to. That could involve integrating them with other key systems, making them available across web and mobile devices, extending functionality, or migrating your legacy application(s) to the Public Cloud.

Common Issues
-
Platform ObsolescenceUnsupported platforms can leave customers vulnerable to cybersecurity threats and create compliance issues. Legacy platforms are costly to support and are severely lacking in features and capability compared to modern public cloud platforms.
-
Emergent Requirements
Customers demand change to improve services, drive margin, capitalise on opportunities, and meet legislative or regulatory commitments. As estates mature and technical debt grows, change becomes more difficult and costly. -
Data Centre ConsolidationInternal factors like mergers, acquisitions or divestitures, as well as contract-expiry, along with external factors like cloud market disruption provide opportunities to reduce or eliminate expensive data centres, lower costs and reinvest savings.
-
Contracts, Licenses up for RenewalRenewal dates provide natural motivation to compare the value of heritage arrangements with modern offerings. Paradigm-shifts which were previously unthinkable are now proven, e.g, on-premise database to PaaS conversion.
-
Security ConcernsLegacy technology stacks are fertile ground for increasingly sophisticated attacks. Penalties for breaches of personal data can be business-ending. While the core functionality may not need to change, the underpinning technology must be secure.
-
Modern User ExpectationsModern users expect modern interfaces which operate on modern devices. In all industries, end-users are increasingly mobile and diverse. Accessibility has become a hard requirement (especially in government).
