As if identifying a more current technology, designing a more elegant architecture, and starting a replacement journey were enough to solve the problem once and for all.</p> <p>But reality rarely organizes itself that way.</p> <p><strong>Legacy systems</strong> do not persist simply because organizations resist change.
