In a system that doesn't do much more than add (not manipulate) updates to an individual's record in a DBIII or Excel spreadsheet type report does not warrant investing in a new software system.
There's ways of porting the information into a cloud server, and that's all they need to do.
It ain't broke. It's really F'ing hard to break.
And the organization actually saves money having someone with basic coding knowledge to sit down and play sysadmin, than pay for yet another SoS program (looking at you, Adobe and Microsoft 360) they have to pay licensing, service fees, and maintenance for - on a very simple records database.
They can update the hardware and storage, no problem. They can convert ("print"
and transmit the data to a cloud storage for other folks to be able to look and and create all sorts of reports from, or have AI scan, or whatever.
The software data doesn't just "degrade". If the code is good, the data is good.
They are also practicing records security that way. No one can get into the base code and records and change up a record to put in an "award" or disciplinary event early in an established career to change someone's "real time" data and re-write history to push a political narrative.
