Sure, old legacy systems are technically challenged, but new systems are 
under development all the time.

Sure, legal-, organizational- and attitude problems are real obstacles 
(I would count maybe 70% for those), but still the underlying technical 
platforms may add additional barriers or on the positive side make the 
opening decision easier.
