This podcast episode explores why reverse engineering legacy systems is one of the most overlooked yet critical steps in software modernization. Legacy applications often contain years of undocumented business rules, workflows, and operational decisions that reflect how a company truly runs today. Skipping this discovery phase can lead to broken processes, missing functionality, and costly rework during ERP, CRM, or web application migrations. Doron Farber explains how reverse engineering protects business continuity, reduces modernization risk, and turns system upgrades into confident, well-informed transformations rather than risky experiments.

Manual inventory tracking (spreadsheets, paper, delayed entry) leads to errors, stockouts, overstocking, and slows operations as businesses grow. ERP inventory management replaces it by automating stock updates, giving real-time visibility across locations, integrating with sales, purchasing, and accounting, and enabling barcode scanning, alerts, and reordering. Result - fewer mistakes, faster warehouse work, better fulfillment, lower costs, and scalable inventory control.

Microsoft Access works fine for small, single-user systems, but it often freezes, locks, slows down, or crashes when several people use it at the same time or when data grows. This happens because Access is file-based, has a 2 GB limit, and cannot handle heavy multi-user activity without conflicts or corruption. Migrating Access to SQL Server fixes these problems by moving data to a secure, server-based engine that supports true concurrency, better performance, and stronger data integrity. You can still keep your Access forms as a front-end while SQL Server manages the backend. The Farber Consulting Group, Inc. helps businesses perform smooth Access-to-SQL Server migrations so systems run faster, stay stable, and scale with growth.
