SOFTWARE CONVERSION
Many companies struggle with legacy software that is difficult to maintain, expensive to operate, or cannot evolve to support the business’ needs.
The reason can be an outdated tech stack, unnecessarily expensive databases, thick clients expensive to distribute to users, or non-cloud capable.
These systems are often allowed to operate for too long because converting software can be difficult and risky. However, the operational cost and missing business agility is accumulating year after year, and will be a burden and risk in the long run.
Sprinting Software has carried out software conversion projects with much success for our customers.
APPROACH TO CONVERSIONS
Through successful software conversion projects, Sprinting Software has developed a best practices approach.
The headlines are as follows:
- Define clear objectives for the project
- Conduct an initial 1-to-1 conversion, and prevent scope creep
- Obtain stakeholder buy-in to initial limited scope
- Form a goal-oriented team capable of driving progress effectively
If the goal for example is to replace an expensive database or transition away from outdated technology, focus solely on this in phase 1. The combination of a narrow scope and the right mindset will give the desired outcome and meet budgetary expectations.
Once completed efficiently, the software will be ready for further development to support the business optimally.
