Global aircraft manufacturer Boeing is in talks with IT services provider Satyam Computer Services to buy software solutions for supporting legacy systems in today’s environment.
A legacy system is an old computer system or application programme that has been in operation for a long time and whose functions are too essential to be disrupted by upgrading or integrating with another system. Typically, organisations do not want to replace it or redesign it.
Satyam Computer Services founder and chairman B Ramalinga Raju is scheduled to make a presentation on effective solutions to extend the life of legacy systems, said Boeing Commercial Airplanes senior vice-president (sales) Dinesh Keskar. Satyam officials declined comment.
Domestic IT companies have been thriving on writing software for critical legacy systems functioning across verticals including the banking, financial services and insurance segments. These are systems for which software had been written long ago. But organisations are conservative about redesigning the system and would rather extend the life of the old system.
This is done by writing software codes to support legacy system in today’s environment. These solutions help organisations save on time and costs.
Boeing has also worked with India’s premier software development companies, including Infosys and Tata Consultancy, on several information technology projects such as application rehosting porting, systems reengineering and development, Web enabling, e-business applications and long-term application maintenance.
