Like-for-Like
One type of modernisation project is a like-for-like (L4L) replacement of the legacy system.
- The solution is known as there is a system already in place.
- The legacy system has become a liability to the organisation so there is a need to replace it.
- The initial replacement of the legacy system should avoid changing any organisational processes where possible.
- Avoiding organisational change will increase the likelihood of a successful modernisation.
- Retraining of staff will be minimised as the new system will be familiar.
- Changes to the new system should only be considered after the replacement is completed.
- These new requests will be satisfied far more efficiently given the new technology stack and environment.
