Design

 

Although the image of an organisation is usually based on plans for new products, the cash‑flow necessary to sustain the business mostly comes from legacy systems. Porting these systems to new platforms to gain access to state of the art technology can be achieved at a cost of 1-10% of a new system and with a minimum loss of compatibility or functionality
