Existing Systems where support is needed
Building on IT Limited are familiar with many technologies used over the past 25 years. We have assisted a number of organisations using installed systems, where support has become challenging, for example the developers are no longer in business or a key employee has left.
Without obligation, we will look at your system and advise you of your options. Sometimes, all that is needed is a simple code or hosting adjustment and then the existing system can meet your needs for many more years. Alternatively, it could be that complementary mobile apps can fill the gaps or an AI integration can be made.
What might be the benefits of keeping an existing system:
Cost
Avoiding large capital outlays in advance of business benefits. Depending on their complexity, new systems may take months or even years to develop, tweak and integrate. During this time capital is continually outlaid before the business sees a return.
Reliability
Existing systems have been extensively debugged through years of use and proved their reliability. Only the changes need to prove themselves.
Staff Retention
An organisation's top asset can be its staff. People find change stressful and sudden change so stressful that they may not want to stay. It is difficult for staff that have learned to use a system, and learned all its faults and workarounds, to suddenly work in a new way.
Incremental Modernisation
New technology and features can gradually be introduced, the existing system will evolve into what it needs to be. This can be a slow or rapid change, depending on business needs or budget.
