#144: Legacy Software - how to address

This is part of a new mini-series looking at Legacy software - the term "legacy" is often seen as a positive - yet within computing it is a negative term generally uses to indicate the need to replace hardware or software.

In this episode, I'll introduce three methods to address legacy software:

• Evolution - continual improvement to the existing system to bring it out of its "legacy" state
• Revolution - the wholesale replacement of system with something new
• And Outsourcing - using a third party to either maintain or replace the legacy system

I briefly compare the three options and will dig further into each in future episodes.
