Legacy Software
“The Specter of Old Code”
Is there a skeleton in your closet in the form of legacy software applications? Or as we call it, “Old Code”? This software carries with it all sorts of hidden costs and maybe some real risks to your organization. Standish will show you how to recognize the demon in your midst and offer our recommendations on what to do about it.
The Issues
- Proprietary development environment that’s no longer supported
- Difficult to support hosting platform like an old mainframe system or an out of date workstation
- Poor or non-existent documentation (design documents, user and installation guides etc.)
- Out of date source code
- Excessive and cumbersome data entry requirements
- “Orphaned” commercial applications
- The unholy union of code and data
The Costs
- Excessive man-hours for support
- Training costs
- Lost productivity
The Risks
- Unique support knowledge is lost (the only developer gets hit by a truck)
- Old platform stops working (they don’t make vacuum tubes any more)
- New regulatory requirements that can’t be addressed

Testimonials
"This is just a quick note to say that I really appreciate the exceptional support that I have been receiving from Standish regarding the implementation of SNMtrac® V6 and database conversion and creating my "first-time obligations" reports for NMMSS. Their support and follow-up is terrific and has, many times over the last week or so, been provided after support hours as defined in the software license agreement."
"Version 6 seems pretty cool, I even played with the Query saving to a spreadsheet! Of course, Joan was her usual helpful self!"
"I wanted to take a moment and tell you how pleased I was with the latest version of your SNMtrac® (v. 6.0) software program and the service I received… first reporting to NMMSS went out the door on time… This would not have been possible unless SNMtrac® version 6 was the full package—a quality product with superb customer support."
