Why does maintaining legacy technology cost so much?

Why does maintaining legacy technology cost so much? Let’s compare it to a building. Imagine you have an old converted barn, which has a thatched roof. In the past, thatching was one of the most advanced techniques for roofing, providing outstanding insulation and protection from the elements. Thatching was also a common skill, so maintaining a roof built using this technique was relatively cheap. Nowadays, a thatched roof is no longer cutting edge. More modern methods last longer with less need for maintenance. The skills needed to maintain a thatched roof are scarce, so expert craftsmen can charge more. Also, if you ever wanted to extend your house, to add more space or use it for other purposes, connecting it to modern roofing structures will be hard and expensive, and will make it even harder and more costly to maintain in the future. Unlike a thatched roof, your legacy technology doesn’t ‘look nice’, so other than the fact that it ‘still works’, the benefits of continuing to inves...

“The challenges ahead" - Section 13 of 14: THE DATA ARCHITECTURE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT (free excerpts)

This is the thirteenth part of the chapter titled “The Data Architecture Construction Project”, from the book “ The Data Garden And Other Data Allegories ”. ______________________________ The challenges ahead Now that you’ve laid out your plans for the way you’d like the team to work, you give people a few minutes to allow what you’d said to sink in, before you wrap up the meeting with a summary of next steps. This is just the beginning and through active collaboration and regular reflection on the operational performance of the team, the operating model is something that can be evolved over time, based on the lessons that are learned along the way. Whilst you do believe that the changes you’ve outlined will help everyone work better together and will by implication drive greater productivity and success, it’s also important that everyone is clear on the challenges ahead and the part that each individual plays in addressing them. Data Insights Town is very busy, with many data people t...

THE DATA BUFFET

Image
[iStock.com/monsitj] FORGET DATA MARKETPLACE, DATA MESH AND DATA FABRIC…  I’m proud to introduce a new data architecture pattern, which is 1000x easier to implement, rapidly opens up access to data consumers, enables unparalleled self-service, and supports the dynamic creation of complex data integrations in real-time... Introducing: THE DATA BUFFET Key features: Agile population of the data buffet platform, using innovative “data platter” containerisation constructs, which can be placed anywhere on the data buffer “table” to enable real-time access (and if the table runs out of space there is the option to pile platters up) Once consumers are given access, they will experience an all-you-can eat service (unless any of the data platters run out, that is) Piles of data are provided on carefully designed, under-sized platters, which will reliably and consistently spill onto the table and stain the tablecloth (if a tablecloth abstraction layer is chosen, that is: the use of a data fab...
