In information technology, legacy applications and data are those that have been inherited from languages, platforms, and techniques earlier than current technology.
Most enterprises that use computers have legacy applications and databases that serve critical business needs.
Typically, the challenge is to keep the legacy application running while converting it to newer, more efficient code that makes use of new technology and programmer skills.
In the past, much programming has been written for specific manufacturers' operating systems. Currently, many companies are migrating their legacy applications to new programming languages and operating systems that follow open or standard programming interfaces.
Theoretically, this will make it easier in the future to update applications without having to rewrite them entirely.
