Legacy Systems Support 


Making the Most of Your Legacy

A legacy is usually seen as a positive thing, riches that can be bequeathed to the next generation. Except, that is, when appended to an IT system or technology, where it takes on entirely different and generally negative connotations. This is, of course, because in IT circles anything 'older' tends to be perceived as outdated, unwieldy and poorly maintained.

In the current global recession, however, the days of 'rip and replace' are long gone. Organisations are having to re-evaluate their business needs, do more with less and find ways to keep legacy systems going. Often, just trying to find a company that can support the older solution is no mean feat. But it doesn't have to be this way - SFW can help.

SFW has a history of service excellence in applications support and is able to take-on the support of any legacy system that is based on Microsoft technology. Many of its clients have used the take-on service which provides a thorough analysis of the current technical map as well as suggestions of where performance, structure etc can be improved, quickly, effectively and at minimal cost.

During the take-on procedure SFW staff familiarise themselves with the application so that, when applications support commences, (managed by a stringent SLA) your organisation gets the knowledgeable, customer-oriented support that it needs.

Access All Areas
Because SFW supports all Microsoft technologies, this includes for many companies smaller, but still strategically important databases, based on Microsoft Access and has developers who specialise in this area. In fact, SFW is still supporting some of the Microsoft Access systems it originally built....15 years ago!
