They say the same thing about our dinosaur of a mainframe where I work
(a major bank here in the Philippines). If it aint broke don't fix it.
Makes sense right?
So whenever we need to develop something on the damn old dinosaur, or
need to do some simple modification, we have to call abroad to the US,
talk to their non-technical people, try to convince them that yes we
need this done because our damn banking rules just changed and we need
them that way, no we don't need your newer version, no we don't really
want to pay you too much because we're only changing a few fields, etcetera etcetera.
In the end we're at their mercy, but we really can't do much about it because 30 years of data is stored in that damn mainframe.
Lesson learned: it doesn't need to be broke to really need fixing.
