Legacy systems are part of a company`s backbone and they usually took years in terms of arhitecture and deployment. But are they flexibile enough for the current everchanging market? The whole idea of a system is largely viewed as a perfect integrated ensemble of parts that together, do a better job than the individual parts. But innovation is, from more than one point of view, disruptive. It initially shatters the seemingly circular processes that these systems have been relying on. And this is why the large scale adoption has been delayed. As time passes and innovation becomes an approachable novelty, the market`s dynamics usually brings about a rise of interest. RPA, for example, was firstly seen as a Band-Aid type of solution. Since it has evolved and has become comprehensibile and available to mass markets, it is turning into a legitimate systemic tool. In regards to its relationship with legacy systems, RPA needs to be evaluated against other approaches to integration as this is not a ‘either or’ situation, but rather a continuum set of approaches to integration.
