Legacy System Maintenance and Migration

Maintaining Legacy Systems

Many companies have internally developed systems that are ingrained into the business. We can fix problems that arise when:
  • Employees key to maintaining/improving the system have left the company
  • The legacy system needs to be integrated with a new system
  • Business expands so the legacy system needs to be deployed as a cloud-based system
We can help all of these scenarios.

 

Maintaining Legacy Systems

Software systems and IT infrastructure that has been developed internally and used forever (AKA legacy systems) are a fact of life. Often times they support core to business processes and have for years or decades. Some people at your company will love the legacy system, others will hate it.

We are fairly ambivalent about the functionality or technology of your legacy system. As long as it works for you - its cool. When your system doesn't work, needs maintenance, or new features to meet demands, that is where Projecxa's development and engineering team can help.

Hiring one or more IT or development professionals to maintain and upgrade a legacy system has its hardships:

  1. It can take a while to find the right candidates
  2. The right candidates are expensive
  3. Most developers want full time positions
  4. Hiring the wrong developer can be really expensive

Projecxa's development teams solve each of these problems as we have found the right candidates that will work in your interest to fulfill a scope of work, while being much more affordable than a full-time staff.

Systems Integration

Integration is a big theme in today's business environment. It is a big topic for a reason - the more tightly integrated systems, teams, and data are, the more productive and effective businesses can be. Usually, the easiest way to integrate companies is to integrate systems.

We often come across compaies that have various pieces of cellular applications that function pretty well but don't play nice with other business systems.

Projecxa's development and engineering staff understand the mechanics and business logic behind integrating systems.We have a track record of integrating many types of systems for many different industries. Systems we integrate include:

  • ERPs
  • Accounting
  • Project Management
  • Scheduling
  • Engineering/Design
  • Document Management
  • Project Controls
  • Construction
  • Inspection
  • Completions/Commissioning
  • And more

Cloud Migration

Legacy systems and local software installations are workable solutions if the whole team works out of one office. If you have more than one office or remote teams, using these systems becomes exponentially more complex. Unfortunately, access and reliability generally suffer for the end users and even the data.

Projecxa's developers and engineers have experience moving these systems into a private or public cloud environment, protected by enterprise level application and network security.

Legacy systems and locally hosted software systems pose more than reliability and security problems. The environment these systems require to work properly can cost a lot of money. Achieving network and hardware reliability that comes close to what commercial datacenters provide is tough. You need to think about the following:

  • Dedicated server room
  • Servers
  • HVAC
  • Broadband requirements
  • Electrical requirements
  • Battery backups
  • Geographic failover
  • Disaster recovery
  • Generator backup
  • And more

Planning for, implementing, and managing a reliable onsite environment means big capital costs. Easily hundreds of thousands of dollars. Then you need to hire full-time employees to do the work. It gets expensive quick.

Projecxa's team can help you setup the environment described above, but we suggest a more affordable path - using commercial datacenters such as Amazon Web Services (Public Cloud) or OnRamp (Private Cloud).

Backup and Disaster Recovery Strategies

What happens when your data disappears one night after a thunderstorm? We've seen power surges destroy key hardware that was sitting on the break room table.

We know you don't want to be in this situation so we offer backup and disaster recovery consulting. Projecxa's team can help you plan and implement a plan that fits your budget and protects your access and data.
