There's a long term cost to running an antiquated system. I can guarantee you that the current system requires maintenance and with technology in general, the older the system, the more expensive it is to maintain. With current technology, you can run a complete system without owning any physical servers as most modern companies do now. The reduced office space need and staffing savings on that part alone can make a big difference.
