The Challenge of Legacy
- Legacy is defined as any outdated computer code. In essence any system that is out of date and needs replacing.
- The amount of legacy code is staggering. This is predicted to increased significantly
- Cobol alone – estimated to represent 250Bn lines of code.
- By 2018 – predicted there will be more than 1 trillion lines of source code
- The more source code we create, the more legacy problems we create
- Governance issues, Cost of maintaining, Speed of adding new capabilities etc
- Traditionally, there were 5 ways that Customers would try to solve legacy:
Traditional options to address legacy
Make legacy look good
Re-write legacy in a modern language
Replace with off the shelf solution
Replace with low code development frameworks
Do nothing
Impact
Still have the cost and issue of maintaining the legacy
Creates more code – ultimately more legacy
Suppliers charge you for managing their legacy
Reduce the cost of managing legacy

Scad Software
- SCAD takes a different approach to Legacy – one that has been proven extensively over the last 20 years: Meta Data Driven Development
- Turns source code into data.
- The data is then processed in databases.
- Each data point has a single reference – make a change to that reference and it changes through out the whole solution (e.g. Like changing the VAT rate in a spreadsheet cell)
- Changes are very quick to make
- Very low costs to maintain
- Legacy code is a thing of the past
- High project success rate
