With more and more enterprises becoming data-driven the need to accelerate the process of securely migrating data to the cloud with self-serviceable capabilities is rising. This is where Legacy Migration As A Service (LMaaS) can help you!

In order to dig deeper, we need to understand the root problem.

Why Do Enterprises Still Have Legacy Applications?

Migrating legacy applications from on-premise systems to the cloud brings a drastic shift in enterprise business processes. If the legacy application is working well, certain regulated sectors simply don’t see the need to migrate just yet.

Reasons, why an organization does not choose to make the switch right away, can be manyfold. To name a few:

• Updating to modern technologies may disrupt workflows.
• Modernizing legacy applications are time-consuming and tedious projects to undertake.
• Cloud Data Engineering technologies are constantly evolving and keeping up with the change becomes quite difficult for regulated segments.
• Costs involved in updating or replacing a legacy system can go out of bounds if not taken care of.
• Data governance and data security are in question.
• Employees are more comfortable with legacy systems that they are used to working with and may prefer to continue even if minor issues persist.

The Need For A Self-Service Data Platform

Cloud Data Engineering calls for niche experts, who are difficult to find. The time and effort required to migrate and build solutions and the time to market are deemed to be high when done manually with human dependency.

Hence, there is a rising necessity for self-service data engineering platforms in business segments within these enterprises that are often dependent on IT to drive data engineering. There is a lot of information lost during transmissions from Business to IT and vice-versa, resulting in conflict, error, and further delay.

In such a scenario, there are two options for an organization to venture into: they can either create a team of data engineers and scientists, who will build procedures and systems to generate insights and migrate the data to the cloud, or they can outsource the work to systems integrator partners. However, in both cases, enterprises will have to invest a significant amount of time, effort, and money to bring the data together and make sense of it, which is bound to keep piling.

If you are one of those enterprises facing these challenges but are also worried about the overheads involved, let us introduce you to Legacy Migration As A Service (LMaaS).

Does Your Enterprise Need Legacy Modernization As A Service?

Many times, unfortunately, organizations don’t see the need to modernize their legacy applications with self-service capabilities. However, as IT discrepancies and security issues arise over time, the change becomes inevitable.

Here is a list of indicators to give you a heads up!

• Onboarding new users become difficult.
• Accessing data becomes tedious from multiple offices or for remote staff.
• Backup management standards drop no matter how much you try.
