Join this panel discussion to learn the dramatic challenges and risks companies face when they stay on legacy software.

Business leaders frequently drag their feet when the time comes to upgrade legacy software. They fall back on quick fixes and homegrown workarounds for heavily customized and integrated software solutions to avoid a risky and expensive upgrade. Big technology advances and a heightened threat landscape, however, require businesses to upgrade. Adherence to a “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” mentality could spell disaster.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the risks of staying on legacy systems
• Know the challenges to overcome when upgrading legacy systems
• Considerations for choosing the right time to upgrade
• Best practices on how to upgrade with minimal impact to the business
