Modernizing Legacy Systems with Worksoft: A Smarter Path to Digital Transformation
For decades, enterprise IT departments have depended on legacy systems to power mission-critical business functions, from supply chain and finance to HR and customer service. But in today’s digital-first world, legacy systems are often inflexible, expensive to maintain, and ill-equipped for change.
That’s why more businesses are embracing intelligent automation as a strategic way to modernize aging infrastructure, without ripping and replacing what still works. At the heart of this shift is Worksoft, the leading provider of code-free, enterprise-grade test automation.
The Legacy Challenge in Modern Enterprises
Legacy systems, particularly those based on older SAP, Oracle, or mainframe environments, pose a range of modernization hurdles:
- Limited agility: Making even small changes can trigger unpredictable downstream effects.
- High risk of failure: Manual testing and documentation increase the chance of costly errors.
- Siloed knowledge: Only a few long-tenured employees fully understand how processes really work.
- Costly upgrades: Moving to modern cloud or hybrid systems like SAP S/4HANA or Salesforce requires extensive testing and validation.
According to McKinsey, 70% of digital transformations fail to meet their goals, often due to underestimating the risk and effort involved in modernizing core systems.
That’s where Worksoft’s Intelligent Automation Platform delivers transformational value.
How Worksoft Enables Legacy System Modernization
Business Process Discovery
Before you can automate or modernize anything, you need to fully understand it. Worksoft’s business process discovery tools automatically capture and map how real users interact with your legacy applications, without interrupting workflows.
This process intelligence gives you a crystal-clear view of what’s happening across your organization. You can identify redundant steps, detect compliance risks, and document tribal knowledge, all critical for successful modernization.
Codeless Test Automation
Modernization means change, and every change needs validation. Whether you’re upgrading from SAP ECC to S/4HANA, integrating new Salesforce modules, or moving workloads to the cloud, Worksoft’s codeless automation allows you to test everything faster, more reliably, and at scale.
The beauty of Worksoft’s platform lies in its simplicity: business users, not just developers, can create and maintain automation. This democratizes testing and cuts down on the time, cost, and risk typically associated with enterprise IT transformations.
Accelerated Migrations to the Cloud
Companies are rapidly moving from legacy on-premises systems to cloud-based ERPs and CRMs. But cloud migration isn’t plug-and-play, it requires thorough process validation across environments.
With Worksoft Certify, you can automate regression testing, functional testing, and performance validation throughout every stage of a migration project. Automated test scripts adapt as systems change, helping reduce downtime and avoid surprises.
