As with most Federal government legacy information systems, there comes a time when making system modifications or enhancements are no longer financially practical.  Since these systems are often the backbone of that organization, it is not something to consider lightly.  EDC Consulting helps its clients migrate and modernize mission-critical legacy systems so they can take advantage of new technology and increase productivity.  EDC’s full range of services is available to help every organization transfer outdated legacy systems into new technology platforms, making mission-critical applications more robust, efficient, and cost effective. EDC can do this seamlessly without missing a step during the migration. EDC works closely with its clients to allow them to operate more efficiently and effectively today and in the future.

The Department of Defense and the Federal government have countless business systems (Oracle, SAP, Peoplesoft, Legacy, etc.) dispersed across the enterprise that are in use today and must be maintained to stay operationally effective. These business systems have many challenges in maintaining them such as integration challenges with newer, more modern systems or legacy systems, lack of maintenance, upgrades and enhancements, as well as knowledgeable system resources and fiscal constraints. Replacement of these systems with newer, modern technology is a challenging option given the high cost of and lengthy schedules for development prior to fielding these systems. Therefore, our clients have a mission critical need to maintain their current systems to avoid disruption and ensure smooth and seamless operation and service to their end-users. Sustainment requires continuous maintenance, rework and repair of systems and the constant management of their underlying data sources. We work closely with our clients to ensure their key issues are addressed and that the obsolescence of their environments is mitigated. At EDC, we have developed industry-leading operational and system support solutions to give our clients a very high probability of achieving and successful implementation. We have developed best practices based on our vast experience with this kind of support. While working with EDC, you’ll have a team of dedicated professionals who will guide you to success. We will make sure our clients place their focus on their mission at all times while we sustain their systems, and ensure that mission critical systems continue to run smoothly, while keeping budgets on track– or get it back on track. We understand the DOD and Federal government business processes and we’re easy to work with.

When standard, “out of the box” business systems are delivered to our clients, they sometimes need to alter existing functionality or add additional functionality to the existing applications based on their unique business requirements.
