Why 70% of Enterprises Struggle with Outdated ColdFusion Systems – And How to Fix It

Introduction: The Hidden Cost of Outdated ColdFusion Systems

ColdFusion has long been a trusted platform for building robust web applications. However, as technology evolves, many enterprises are stuck with outdated ColdFusion systems that drain resources, expose vulnerabilities, and hinder growth. In fact, 70% of businesses still using legacy ColdFusion frameworks report challenges like security risks, scalability bottlenecks, and difficulty finding skilled developers.

If your business relies on ColdFusion, this blog will help you:

1. Understand the risks of clinging to outdated systems.
2. Discover modern solutions to migrate, optimize, or rebuild your ColdFusion applications.
3. Learn how Evalogical's ColdFusion expertise can future proof your tech stack.

The Problem: Key Challenges of Legacy ColdFusion Systems

1. Security Vulnerabilities

Outdated ColdFusion versions (e.g., CF 9 or earlier) lack critical security patches, leaving your data exposed to breaches.

• Example: A healthcare client faced constant SQL injection attacks due to unsupported ColdFusion code.

2. Scalability Limitations

Legacy systems struggle to handle growing traffic or integrate with modern cloud infrastructure.

• Stat: 58% of enterprises report performance issues during peak loads.

3. Integration Roadblocks

Older ColdFusion apps often can't communicate with modern APIs, microservices, or SaaS tools like Salesforce or Shopify.

4. Talent Shortage

Finding developers skilled in legacy ColdFusion is increasingly difficult. Many IT teams lack the bandwidth to maintain outdated code.
