Posted on Wednesday, Jan 25, 2023
Show Notes
#195: Most companies have decades of legacy systems running their day-to-day business. They’re difficult to replace with newer systems, and they’re costly to maintain. But they also offer security, stability, and consistency. The challenge is deciding how to make them work in the modern world.
In this episode, we talk with Robert Cooke, CTO and Founder at 3forge, about why replacing legacy systems is not a simple as just doing it and also why open source may not be the answer that everyone thinks it is.
