Legacy system migration is a critical process for organizations aiming to modernize their Information Technology (IT) infrastructure and enhance operational efficiency. There are multiple research papers describing how to prepare a migration strategy for a legacy system that includes a detailed step-by-step approach. This paper explores the success factors in legacy system migration, derived from multiple case studies across various industries. Identified key success factors such as comprehensive planning, stakeholder engagement, incremental migration approaches, and robust testing protocols have been mentioned in the majority of examined case studies. The findings provide actionable insights for organizations planning to undertake legacy system migrations, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning and continuous improvement to achieve successful outcomes.
