Modern technology systems can be difficult to maintain, and tend to accumulate problems as they get older. It is wise to periodically address these problems by hiring a third party to audit your system.

The alternative is projects that burn cash, never get closer to completion, are riddled with bugs, and fail to complete requirements. They slow down your team and drag down your business with it.

During the 1990’s and early 2000’s, new developments in the tech industry made developers need to write code differently.
