In 1965, Gordon Moore predicted that transistor density would double every 18 months. Basically, what this means is that every 18 months, the performance capacity of electronic circuits would double, thus making computers faster and more powerful. This increased computing capacity has been balanced out by equally fast advances in software development. As Moore’s law holds true, it has prompted rapid developments in Information Technology and as such spurred the move to modernize software systems. In recent years, the number of technologically savvy individuals has grown exponentially. This increase in numbers has also resulted in increased consumer demand for certain services such as online tech support from businesses, virtual websites, social networking sites, and modern applications, to name a few. In a bid to keep up with and benefit from the latest technological developments, many organizations have chosen to modernize software systems. Though it may be a daunting (and expensive) task to update software on the basis of how fast new software developments take place, organizations should still try to modernize software systems regularly. This is especially so in the case where new systems would directly contribute to positive gains in the organization’s operations. Some of the reasons why management should put into action a plan to modernize software systems are: 1. Makes the organization more efficient The use of modern software in an organizational setting is aimed at increasing professionalism and competency, by allowing the organization to be more responsive to customers and to new regulatory or business requirements. If an organization decides to modernize software systems, it reduces the amount of time it takes to perform business...
