Why decommission your legacy systems?
For many organisations, the decision to decommission legacy systems is driven by a mix of financial, operational, and strategic factors. Here are some of the most common drivers.
Reducing costs
Legacy systems are expensive to keep running. Infrastructure, software licences, and support fees add up quickly. Decommissioning removes these recurring costs and can deliver major savings in total cost of ownership.
Mitigating business risk
Outdated hardware and unsupported software create reliability and compliance risks. Retiring these systems reduces the chance of failures and helps meet regulatory standards such as GDPR.
Reducing opportunity costs
Maintaining old systems diverts staff from more strategic projects. Decommissioning frees skilled teams to focus on innovation and modernisation.
Supporting environmental goals
Older infrastructure consumes more energy. Shutting down legacy systems helps reduce your carbon footprint and aligns with environmental objectives.
