Have you invested thousands of dollars in custom software and now the original developer has disappeared, leaving you with a locked system that nobody knows how to update?
In the B2B sector, it is common to commission the development of an ERP or dashboard to an agency or freelance developer who, over time, abandons the project. You are left with what engineers call "orphan software": undocumented code, full of patches and obsolete dependencies. Every time you try to hire a new technical team to add a feature or fix a critical bug, they tell you the system is an incomprehensible mess and the only way out is to trash your entire investment and start from scratch. This dependency on a single person (Bus Factor) holds your company's operations hostage and completely blocks your scalability.
The trap of Rewriting Everything From Scratch
When new developers see complex foreign code, their instinct is always to ask you for an astronomical budget to remake the entire system, arguing that it will be safer. Throwing away years of validated business logic out of fear of reading old code is a luxury no B2B company should pay for.
