What this session covers
The legacy data problem
Why the data trapped in legacy systems is both the biggest liability and — handled correctly — the most underestimated asset in a modernisation programme.
Cross-industry parallels
Sporting equipment and automotive examples show that the legacy challenge is sector-agnostic — the shape of the fix tends to rhyme even when the products don't.
Tools and strategies
A practical introduction to the approaches that help teams extract value from legacy estates without losing it in the migration.
Making it out with the treasure
The point of the exercise isn't tidying up the old system — it's carrying forward the institutional knowledge hidden inside it.
