Q: What does LegacyMode mean?

A: LegacyMode is both a historical IT term and our trademark. It means you can keep the software you currently have forever. In times gone by, the mainframers placed applications into Legacy Mode, thus saving a great deal of money and time in future support of the application. They minimized change and maximized stability. So too today we place applications into LegacyMode and save you a great deal of time and money in the process. We define LegacyMode on Wikipedia, please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Mode

Q: How are you different from other 3rd party support and maintenance firms?

A: LegacyMode differs from other 3rd party support and maintenance firms such as TomorrowNow or Rimini Street by our unique consultative methodology relying upon Application Encapsulation through Virtualization. This patent-pending process ensures that your application is placed in a digital bubble (aka Digital Formaldehyde) so that it may be run in perpetuity with decreasing costs over time. Other companies are merely transferring one maintenance stream from another while we're offering a permanent way to lower costs over time.

Q: What is a good version to take Legacy?

A: While many think of Legacy as PeopleSoft version 7.x or below, actually the higher versions of PeopleSoft 8.x are better. This is because long term datacenter inter-operability requires at least partial web and self service capability, not found in PeopleSoft version 7.x.

Q: Why can't I do this by myself?

A: You could go legacy alone; but you could also have written an ERP system for yourself. It's much more cost effective to let a specialist assist you. LegacyMode focuses only on supporting Legacy deployments including providing emergency fixes and tax and regulatory updates from over 12,000 taxing entities so you don't have to.

Q: What does Virtualization have to do with it?

A: Virtualization allows us to emulate older, de-supported system environments and thus keep the application supported through time.

Q: Is LegacyMode Hiring and what is Fractional Maintenance Stream Ownership?

A: Yes, LegacyMode is always hiring bright and creative candidates. We offer a unique incentive for support workers to take part in the exciting world of 3rd party maintenance through our Fractional Maintenance Stream Ownership™ program. This program provides for profit sharing of the maintenance stream for support employees upon each application they support. By incentivizing our employees, we create a world class support experience for our customers. Submit your resume at: jobs@LegacyMode.com to learn more.
