Abstract

Low-code platforms simplify enterprise application development and integration. However, integrating modern applications with legacy systems remains challenging. Compatibility issues, data inconsistencies, and security concerns often arise. Additionally, scalability and maintainability require careful planning. This paper will explore key challenges in legacy system integration. It will examine compatibility issues, data synchronization, and security risks. Furthermore, we will analyze strategies to enhance system interoperability. Solutions such as API management, middleware, and automation will be discussed. We propose a hybrid integration framework using low-code platforms. This approach ensures seamless connectivity, improved efficiency, and long-term scalability.
