Many IT landscapes still include applications that are outdated and barely maintained. Replacing legacy systems today not only improves technical stability but also creates room for innovation. Old systems tie up resources, compromise data security and hinder digital strategies.
Outdated systems cost Money and compromise Security
Each year increases the risk of technical failures and security gaps. Companies that replace their legacy systems significantly reduce maintenance costs, licence fees and IT risks. At the same time, they minimise the risk of system failures or data loss, which is critical in times of growing cyber threats.
Data migration as the key to success
The main challenge when replacing legacy systems is the secure transfer of historical data. AvenDATA offers a proven solution with ViewBox, enabling complete data sets to be exported in compliance with legal requirements, archived and made accessible in the long-term, regardless of their original source system.
Ensure compliance and free up resources
Many legacy systems contain tax-relevant or audit-critical information. When these systems are replaced or modernized, it is essential that such data is archived in a legally compliant and audit-proof manner. ViewBox enables organizations to meet international requirements for financial reporting, statutory retention and data protection across multiple jurisdictions. This allows companies to reliably fulfill global regulatory obligations without the high costs, operational burden and risks associated with keeping outdated systems running. At the same time, IT resources are freed up and a lean, future-proof system landscape is established.
Conclusion: Replacing legacy systems means shaping the Future
Replacing legacy systems is not just an IT project, it is a strategic step towards digital transformation. Companies benefit from lower costs, improved security and a modern IT infrastructure. With AvenDATA’s solution, the transition is smooth, legally compliant, efficient and economically sound.
