Situation in most businesses
With the initial implementation of requirements, the gap between the requirements and the initial implementation is small or non existent. But as additional requirements or the need for upgrades and integration to other systems drive future system changes, the gap between what the business needs and what the actual system is increases.
Results of situation in most businesses:
- High cost of ownership
- Lengthy development cycles
- High Complexity
- Low business impact from system changes
- High levels of manual processing
- Negative impact on bottom-line

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- Legacy is defined as any outdated computer code. In essence any system that is out of date and needs replacing.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
