Many companies still use legacy ERP systems because their business relies on them and they work!
Legacy ERP systems may not have the latest database platform, user interface, or reporting tools, but are reliable and often highly customised to their specific industry. These systems are often based on older technology, such as the IBM iSeries, AS/400, Progress, Pick Software, RS/6000 and a myriad of UNIX platforms….. or even DOS.
Examples of legacy systems could also include old versions of JD Edwards, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Baan, Kerridge, IFS, Merlin, Sage, Lawson Accounts, MAPIX, BPCS, S21, Sapphire, Xeres and many others.
Replacing a legacy ERP system can be difficult, in terms of disruption to the business, the purchase cost and finding a good fit. With this in mind, some businesses continue to use them and make do with the lack of connectivity and flexibility.
