What is LegacyTrap?


The Legacy Trap occurs when a company becomes dependant on a spreadsheet or database, which was probably written and developed many years ago by someone who is no longer connected to the company.
  • Invariably this is a single user system loaded on one computer in the office and run by one person.

  • Frequently for the business to expand and become more efficient this system needs to be updated so that it can:

    • Be shared with other users.

    • Run by more than one person.

    • Produce new reports.

    • Integrate with other systems.

    • Start to become web enabled.

  • Quite often companies can not see a way out of this trap.
