You Know What I Think? With Jody Hanks

You know what I think about legacy computer systems? Legacy systems are always on the chopping block because there is a seemingly never-ending cascade of new technology designed to make business more profitable and our lives easier.

In fact, implementing new IT systems carry inherent risks that may outweigh the drawbacks of modifying or converting existing systems.
