IT managers tasked with technology deployment face a formidable opposition when dealing with legacy data. Corporations have survived and whirled past every new technology that seems tempting – given the sheer adaptability of the new tech in the making. However the sheer volume of legacy data often and always acts as the “deterrent” and the idea is often scrapped given its magnitude.
Of course, technology and infrastructure has to keep pace with time. With the start of cloud and the ease with which virtualization has enabled possibilities – manipulation of legacy data seems to be a cake walk. However – past experiences with managing legacy data has always been a matter of concern – a sensitive topic that has given the most prudent of the industry leader’s jitters – shelving the very possibility of the positive impact, a new technology could bring to the system environment.
If past is a precedent – enterprises across the globe shy from adapting new tech over tried & tested legacies. There are enterprises – still retaining masses of data and yet apprehensive of switching over given the past.
Let us break down the key differentiators IT managers would generally perceive – given a chance to upgrade their legacy system.
1. TUI vs. GUI
GUI – with its ease of navigation is an enabler. There is no doubting the impact GUI has over TUI. GUI is by far the single most important element that has enabled penetration of systems worldwide – much like how UI & UX are a main stream industry today. GUI careers are highly sought-after professions among Web, Mobile & Application developers.
2. Security vs. Reach
Mobility has indeed come as a blessing. Accessing information is just a few taps away. But, access to information comes at a price – and security being the single most critical element companies avoid tweaking.
3. Infrastructure vs. Scalability
With Cloud – it is no longer about heavy investment on in-house infrastructure. A blessing and a luxury – managers of the past decades never had. You not only save on heavy equipment & maintenance cost, Cloud further allows scalability with just few key strokes and at just a fraction of the cost of owning a fresh hardware asset or upgrade. Compare that with the traditional practice of upgrading Hardware – investing time, resource and capital – a routine being followed every year. Decision is all that matters. Imagine the savings accomplished with all the maintenance & support costs eliminated.
4. Data Integrity vs. Ease
The ease with which today’s application enables its users takes the idea of flexibility to a whole new level. However – ensuring data integrity without compromising SOPs, regulatory compliance and controls is a different ball game altogether. The comparison often takes a beating given the odds of flexibility against tried and tested control postures and data restrictions.
The odds being faced are not only over whelming but over bearing on the entire system and its users. The resulting outcome – is to “manipulate and manage” within the realms – causing productivity issues, errors, outages and often times impacting revenue & efficiency.
