Legacy Modernization Service

Legacy Modernization Service

Over the years of operation, enterprise IT systems tend to grow overly complex and outdated, losing maintainability and scalability—a problem known as “legacy.”

Many organisations still rely on older languages such as COBOL or VB6, which creates significant business risks.

To fully realize digital transformation (DX), it is essential to resolve these issues and modernize to a flexible, cutting-edge IT foundation.
