    So spend a chunk of money to hire a team to upgrade the database that’s working to one that’s programmed in a new language, might will have errors, then have to fix those errors, and you’d also have to train the existing team or replace them with someone who knows how to use and maintain the new database. You’d potentially want to upgrade or change the hardware too from an old mainframe computer unless you want to only sidegrade to like C-90 since your old IBM computer won’t support newer compilers. In the meanwhile there’s a HUGE risk of breaking something or even just not getting anything accomplished

    It’s definitely an objective that’s good but if you’re chasing efficiency and cutbacks, it’s the opposite of what you’d want to do.
