Introduction

Two people pair-programming

A number of companies choose to maintain their own in-house software, often built to support the unique needs of a niche market. Tight schedules and limited resources rarely leave room for optimization. Once the software reaches an acceptable standard, it goes into production.

Over time, however, the compromises become visible: performance issues, difficult maintenance, limited usability, or oudated interfaces.

Eventually, every system becomes absolete, and change is unavoidable. Convoluted code makes expansion nearly impossible, legacy technologies make it difficult to adopt modern ones and rushed implementations begin to show clear signs of technical debt.

The dilemma: invest in an overhaul or keep what you have?
