Legacy Hardware and Software Services

Technology moves so quickly these days that it can be hard to keep up. We are constantly faced with new stuff replacing the old…but then what happens to the old stuff? Inevitably, when we leave the old hardware and software behind, there is always something that we forgot. It might be a simple as a few phone numbers left on an old mobile phone, or it might be critical financial records in a multimillion-dollar law suit.

A more realistic scenario might be: your company is getting sued and some of the evidence relates to phone recordings of stock trades (or 911 calls, or mortgage refinances, or something else). You have the tapes which prove your innocence, but they were recorded on some proprietary voice recorder from 10+ years ago (and long since retired). You might even have the old recorder laying around (but in disrepair), or perhaps you just have the tapes.
