Legacy System Integration
Connect old software with modern systems. Eliminate manual data transfer between systems with reliable integration solutions built for your specific needs.
The Problem
Does this sound familiar? Your team manually exports data from one system, reformats it in Excel, and imports it into another system. This process happens daily or weekly, wasting hours and introducing errors.
Manual data transfer between systems consumes hours each week
Human error causes data discrepancies and requires corrections
Legacy systems can't communicate with modern applications
Data silos prevent real-time visibility across systems
Why Legacy Systems Break Down
Legacy systems weren't designed for modern integration needs.
Technical Reasons
Older systems lack modern APIs or web services. Proprietary file formats and closed architectures prevent direct integration with new systems.
Business Impact
Manual data transfer wastes 5-15 hours per week. Errors require time to fix and can impact decision-making. Data delays prevent real-time operations.
Cost of Inaction
Without integration, manual work increases as systems grow. Errors compound over time. Your team spends time on data entry instead of strategic work.
Our Approach
A systematic integration process that connects your systems reliably.
System Analysis
Analyze your legacy system architecture, data formats, and integration requirements to design the integration approach.
Integration Design
Design integration architecture—file-based, API, database links, or middleware—that works with your legacy system constraints.
Development & Testing
Build integration scripts, connectors, or middleware. Test thoroughly with your actual data to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Deployment & Monitoring
Deploy integration solution, monitor initial runs, and provide documentation and support for ongoing maintenance.
What Makes It Reliable
- Error handling and data validation at each step
- Scheduled or real-time synchronization options
- Audit trails of all data transfers
- Automatic retry and error notification mechanisms
Timeline Expectations
Legacy system integrations typically take 4-10 weeks depending on system complexity and data volume. We provide a detailed timeline after analysis.

Example Outcomes
Real results from legacy integration projects (anonymized for confidentiality).
Manufacturing Company
Challenge: Daily manual data export from ERP system to Excel, then import into warehouse management system, taking 2 hours daily.
Solution: Automated integration script that extracts data from ERP, transforms format, and imports to warehouse system on schedule.
Result: Eliminated 10 hours of manual work per week. Zero data entry errors. Real-time inventory updates.
Financial Services Firm
Challenge: Weekly manual transfer of transaction data from legacy mainframe system to modern reporting database, prone to errors.
Solution: Database integration that connects legacy system directly to reporting database with automated data transformation.
Result: Automated daily data sync. 100% accuracy improvement. Reports generated automatically from current data.
Common Questions
Can you integrate systems that don't have APIs or web services?
Yes. We work with file-based exports, database connections, screen scraping, and other methods to connect systems without modern APIs.
What happens if one of the systems changes or updates?
We build flexible integrations that can be updated when systems change. We also provide ongoing support to maintain integrations after system updates.
How do you handle data validation and errors?
We implement validation checks, error handling, and logging at each integration step. Errors are logged and notified, with automatic retry mechanisms where appropriate.
Can the integration run automatically on a schedule?
Yes. Integrations can be scheduled (daily, weekly, hourly) or triggered by events, depending on your needs. Real-time synchronization is possible for supported systems.
How long does integration take?
Most integrations take 4-10 weeks depending on system complexity, data volume, and integration approach. We provide a detailed timeline after analysis.
