“Let’s rewrite it” is often the most expensive sentence in IT.
Legacy applications usually encode years—sometimes decades—of business logic. Rewriting them from scratch risks:
-
Missed requirements
-
Operational downtime
-
Unexpected compliance issues
-
Budget overruns
A better approach is incremental modernization:
-
Stabilize performance first
-
Improve data access and SQL Server queries
-
Refactor high-risk areas gradually
-
Replace components only when necessary
