Legacy applications underlie almost every government enterprise. In
general, the applications are reliable; however, they're expensive and
difficult to maintain. Though not every legacy system requires
replacement, the reality is that all legacy applications must at least be
Web-enabled if the IT Department is to be flexible enough to meet
ever-changing government regulatory mandates.
Often referred to as rehosting, web-enabling, migration,
translation or conversion, there are many issues that drive IT managers
to undertake modernization projects. Some of these may include the cost of leasing or
maintaining old hardware, unavailability of programmers, the lack of capability to maintain legacy code or
meet future functional requirements with legacy code, user requirements
that don't fit the older technologies, or a number of other issues.

Unique IT Challenges
Because many government legacy systems don't talk to each other, access
to critical information often is very slow, has a greater chance of
error, or may in fact be impossible. That makes it very difficult for
agency executives to effectively administer programs and accurately
report data to the agency head, Congress, and other regulatory bodies.
According to Gartner Group, between 60 percent and 80 percent of an average
company's IT budget is spent on maintaining existing mainframe systems and
the applications that run on them -- and it's likely higher for Government IT
organizations. What that means is that most of the money going into Federal
IT budgets is spent on systems that are outdated, inflexible, not
interoperable and are not meeting E-Gov and Federal Enterprise
Architecture mandates. The situation is equally serious in many State and Local government bodies, as well.

may provide modernization tools on a project-lease basis as well as training, mentoring,
management and development services as required. Our value add is simple: ResQSoft
drastically reduces the cost and time needed for major modernization projects. Most
projects can be completed within one fiscal year budget cycle. (See DFAS Case Study)
