Pareto was right. 20% of your software is causing 80% of your problems

Vilfredo Pareto

Even if you’ve never heard of Vilfredo Pareto (1848 – 1923), you’ll know his principle as the “80/20 rule”. He was an economist, but his principle has been used to describe phenomena as diverse as earthquakes to work health and safety. Famously, Microsoft supposedly adopted a policy of solving only 20% of bugs to reduce software problems by 80%.

In our experience, the Pareto principle also holds for legacy software. In-house built, out-of-service and silo systems are key blockers of efficient and effective business processes and service delivery.

They require a disproportionate effort to use, maintain and integrate. They limit your potential to engage with clients and partners – and suppliers often demand extortionate licence fees.

What if there was a way to apply the 80/20 rule to legacy conversion and data migration? We’ve developed a tool which automates this process and can convert 80% of the functionality and all your data in less than 20% of the time and cost usually required for a legacy migration.

You can quickly extend converted systems into a secure and attractive client web portal or take advantage of comprehensive user activity auditing – all with no requirement for ongoing licence fees or other charges. We can also closely match existing forms to make transition simple for your team, while solving usability and accessibility problems.

To make it easy, we offer a fixed price and money-back-guarantee for the first conversion iteration – allowing you to see and trial a converted system with your data, side by side with your existing systems – a simple no risk way to try before you buy.
