Keep Old Systems Running Like New

Legacy software support that keeps your aging IT systems running at peak performance.
Switching to something new isn’t always practical, and according to Forbes, 75% of companies use outdated software. Our legacy software support services help you modernize your existing systems without a complete overhaul.

What Is Legacy Software, and Why Does it Demand Special Support?

In software, the term “legacy” means outdated. Legacy systems use old ways of programming that are no longer supported by most modern computers. Examples of legacy software include Sharepoint, Windows 7, Adobe Flash Player, and Lotus Notes. Applications that use old programming languages like COBOL or Pascal are also considered legacy software.
Legacy software support is about modernizing old programs with system updates and upgrades that make them easier to use and less vulnerable to bugs and cyber attacks. It may also involve integrating old software into a new tech stack.

Modernizing Legacy Software vs Replacing It

Despite technological advancements, many companies and industries still rely on legacy systems or software. Support for such applications is limited, so why do they keep using them?
In cases like these, legacy software support helps business owners retain their digital systems even when they become outdated. It is ideal for software that still serves a purpose and contributes to the efficiency of the company.
In contrast, when software no longer serves the needs of the business, it is better to replace it with something newer and faster. How do you know when it’s time to upgrade your software?

Our Legacy Software Support Services

Zelifcam offers legacy software support for older programs and business apps. We help you fix bugs in your old software and make it easier to use alongside modern systems. Explore our services below.

Software Assessment and Evaluation

Take a deep dive into the software your business uses every day. We’ll inspect legacy programs from a technical viewpoint, unpacking the code to find vulnerabilities and security risks. This comprehensive audit helps us measure the efficiency of your legacy software and how well it meets (or does not meet) your needs.

Code Optimization and Enhancement

Legacy code analysis and optimization restructure your software’s code without changing how it works. The goal is to make the code easier to read and maintain in the future. This also involves cleaning old, unnecessary code that strains your hardware. This process alone can increase system performance significantly. Additionally, we can build system updates and upgrades to modernize elements of your legacy program.

Security Updates and Patch
Management

Legacy system security is one of our biggest concerns. Older software is more vulnerable to cyber attacks because it doesn’t receive regular security updates from the original developer. We build custom patches for legacy software to remove bugs and increase its defenses against malware. This protects your business from cyber attacks and data breaches.

Legacy Code Documentation

One of the greatest challenges of using legacy software is that most developers can’t work with it. Younger developers don’t usually learn older programming languages, making servicing legacy software more difficult as time passes. We offer legacy code documentation to create detailed and understandable codebases that make old architecture easier to understand.

Legacy Software Maintenance

We offer ongoing support for your legacy software systems to keep them running optimally. Assistance includes performing regular system maintenance to check for bugs, identify security risks, and update old code when needed. We take a proactive, preventative approach that helps you mitigate technology-related risks before they do any damage.

Legacy System Migration or Integration

Eventually, you may want to move away from your legacy system. Compatibility with newer software is crucial here—we compare code from both systems and provide expert advice on switching. Our team can also create custom integrations for legacy software that allow you to use it in tandem with modern applications.

Our Legacy Software Support Services

The case for modernizing and maintaining old software is clear. We all want to reduce bugs, increase performance, and prevent security breaches, but how do we measure these outcomes? At Zelifcam, we believe in setting data-based goals. You can calculate the value of our legacy software support services by tracking a few simple metrics.
Talk to us about performance tracking to ensure your legacy software still serves you. This exercise can help you ascertain whether maintenance and modernization deliver value or if you need to replace old software completely.
