Legacy technology

Legacy technology refers to older systems, hardware, or software that are still in use within an organization, even though newer technologies exist. These systems may be difficult to maintain, integrate, or update but are often retained because they are critical to daily operations or because replacing them is costly and complex. While they can become outdated over time, legacy technologies can still provide valuable functionality, but they may pose risks like security vulnerabilities or compatibility issues with modern tools. Organizations often face the challenge of maintaining legacy systems while transitioning to advanced, more efficient solutions.
