What risks are your unsupported systems hiding?
Software needs to be maintained. When it is not, it usually fails and it fails at the most inopportune time. There are many reasons why software systems fall out of support, in-house developers may leave the Company taking with them the knowledge and expertise to support, external suppliers may have ceased to trade or only support more up to date versions that you do not wish to upgrade to. If you find yourself in these circumstances you are placing yourself in a high risk situation, unable to use systems that the business relies on and being unable to provide the core functions of the business. In addition, the information that older systems contain may be subject to new legislation and without access to it, you may be in breach of Legislation. At the very least there may be a compelling argument to modernise older systems to make them compatible with advancements in newer technolgy, making them more widely available across different departments. KIM has extensive expertise in modernisation of older systems and these services are often cheaper than licensing new products, migrating data and having to retrain staff.
