Software updates – their absence is a clear signal that the system is outdated. Without support, the system lacks new functionalities and will not be compatible with the latest devices on the market.
Compatibility with a limited number of operating systems - old systems operate with a specific operating system, significantly complicating the purchase of hardware and software for the company (the entrepreneur is forced to purchase software on which the old system will function. New systems are based on web technologies, which means they can be used from any device.
Integration with other systems - this feature of the system is very important for enterprises where integration of the system with other software is necessary. Most systems made in old technologies will not be able to communicate with other software operating in the company.
Development costs - the older the software, the harder it becomes to expand, and often - it becomes impossible. Few specialists in the market deal with outdated technologies, so any need for software expansion will be costly.
Unfriendly UI (User Interface) - unlike modern systems, outdated software is often complicated to use and overloaded with information. Newer versions are intuitive and easier to use.
Due to the lack of security updates, outdated technologies become an attractive target for hackers who meticulously search the Internet for opportunities for easy attacks.
They become a barrier to introducing new ideas and solutions due to their limited capabilities - thereby hampering the technological progress and development of the enterprise.
Using them also involves huge financial outlays. At first glance, replacing old software with new may seem like an unwise expense. In reality, however, technology develops so quickly that creating, for example, a new online service that operates on data often requires the integration of many platforms and solutions. It is in this area that problems and associated costs arise.

New technologies can allow companies to offer what the market demands. And as we know, this translates into acquiring new customers and increasing their trust.
