Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

New technologies are quickly rendered obsolete as soon as they hit the market because of the rapid pace at which technology improves. On-prem ERP systems were once cutting-edge technology a decade ago. However, they are now fast considered “legacy” ERPs, old and clunky, and not agile to meet the growing demands of today’s businesses.

ERP systems that once improved productivity and visibility across the business don’t have the agility and up-to-the-minute decision-making capabilities to keep up with the fast-paced demands placed on the business of the 2020s and beyond.

What is Holding Your Business Back?

Assess your current IT infrastructure and business applications – does it hold you back from achieving more? DXC can assist you in modernising your company to stay ahead of the competition. There are a number of problems that come with using outdated ERP systems, including:

1. Compatibility
   Companies often hope that new technology will work in tandem with their existing legacy systems. If you try to do so, you may encounter processing problems, bottlenecks, data loss, and other complications. Unfortunately, new systems rarely work well with older ones.
2. Data Security
   Unlike modern ERP systems, antiquated systems aren’t built with fortifications that regularly govern and safeguard the data that passes through them. A lack of consistent upgrades makes the system vulnerable to emerging threats. Consequently, outdated ERP systems can carry the unpleasant legacy of security vulnerabilities that can leave you open to data leaks, cybersecurity attacks and weak access controls
3. On-Premises Hardware, Operating Systems & Databases
   What’s one of the main problems of using an old ERP system? The constant need to stay up-to-date with system patches, latest versions, and ensure Applications, Databases, Operating Systems and Hardware are all compatible, updated, upgraded, tested and secured. Ensuring these are all staying current drains IT budgets and resources in addition to the burden on testing cycles for the business. Miss an update? Leave your organisation languishing behind these updates and open your organisation to the risk of performance, security, and system integrity issues.
