As organizations evolve and mature, your technology stack evolves as well. Combined with fast development in data engineering – whether its data storage, new apps or data processing approaches – you can easily find that you have several old systems that no longer work well with your new tech stack.
You might be able to upgrade those systems or replace them with more modern equivalents. But that’s not always possible. Those systems may have been built in house and provide functionality that’s hard to replace with an off-the-shelf app.
But just because you’re stuck working with legacy apps, it doesn’t mean you can’t bring them and their data into your modern data processes.
Watch this webinar to learn:
- How get value from those old systems and bring your data into modern data pipelines
- How automation can help
- How tools like CloverDX can provide a bridge between legacy data formats and storage and modern, automated, near real-time processes

Chapter 4: Approach 1 - File extracts
The simplest form of integration through manual reports and exports. More often than not, the most challenging part in this approach is data formats, quite often aimed at human consumption rather than integration

Chapter 5: Approach 2 - Direct access to backend database
Although not recommended practise, this can bring quick wins and results, especially when you need to get data out the legacy system and not write.
