Legacy Applications

Legacy Applications - and data are those that have been inherited from languages, platforms, and techniques earlier than current technology. Currently, many companies are migrating their legacy applications to new programming languages and operating systems that follow open or standard programming interfaces. This will make it easier in the future to update applications without having to rewrite them entirely and will allow a company to use its applications on any operating system.
