[e-Book] An IT Leader's Guide to Legacy Modernisation

Modernising Legacy Systems with a Managed-Risk Approach

In today’s fast-paced world, digital transformation is critical for organisations in every industry to stay competitive. However, many companies find their core systems outdated, difficult to enhance, or costly to maintain. These outdated systems become significant barriers to delivering essential innovations, leading to increased risks and costs. Fortunately, a managed-risk approach to modernisation offers a way forward. This strategy allows organisations to extend, refactor, or rebuild their systems with lower costs, faster deployment, and reduced effort compared to traditional methods. By leveraging a high-performance low-code development platform, businesses can modernise legacy systems at their own pace—whether that means adding new user interfaces, breaking down monolithic applications, or completely rebuilding core systems.

Low-Code and Application Modernisation

With high-performance low-code, you can create innovative solutions to increase productivity and efficiency while improving user experience – all while still getting the most out of your investment in legacy systems. In this ebook, OutSystems explore how companies are using low-code to overcome the limitations of legacy systems:

Extend legacy systems with new capabilities by adding modern interfaces and improving user experiences.
Refactor applications into modular, composable architectures to increase flexibility and better integrate cloud-native technologies.
Rebuild outdated systems entirely, eliminating technical debt and replacing old applications with custom-built, future-proof solutions in a fraction of the time.
