In our last article we explored Legacy applications, what they are, and how your apps become legacy. We will now look at the challenges they pose in the modern world of work, both operationally and technically.

The operational challenges
A lack of modern practice
The world of technology is constantly evolving, and the modern workplace changes along with it – compliance regulations are always updating, operational practices change daily and the way in which we work is continually becoming easier and far more efficient.

In the workplace it is common practice for us all to have our favourite set of tools and ways of doing things, but those software products that you have placed your faith in every day to allow you to complete your work as fast and to the best standard as possible, unfortunately, will get to a stage where they need to be replaced with newer versions or have been taken off the market completely due their age.

As we mentioned in the previous article, the world of technology is constantly changing and evolving – this evolution has brought about opportunities for advanced levels of communication, collaboration, and productivity that we simply haven’t been able to achieve in the past – but, for all the positives, this can be a very difficult environment to navigate successfully and productively.

The world of technology is constantly evolving – and, as much as telephony has been relatively unchallenged for quite some time, it is now also changing. By 2025 BT plan to have retired their ISDN services entirely! This makes it essential that you take the time to explore the various alternatives on the market and find a modern system that works for you - before it is too late and you have to make a rushed last minute decision.

In the previous blog we explored A.I and Machine Learning, whether it’s a threat to your business, and the challenges that come with it. In the following blog we will explore some of the benefits it will offer to your small business.

The benefits of A.I to small businesses
Accurate decision making
As the amount of data that the average business obtains increases, Machine Learning capabilities increase right alongside it.

The modern world we live in revolves around technology. Almost everything we do is influenced somewhere along the line by it – and that reliance will only grow as we go farther into the future. One of the most revolutionary advances in technology we have seen in modern times is Artificial Intelligence (A.I) and Automation as it allows you to place even more reliance on technology.
