The modernization of legacy systems represents a strategic challenge for companies seeking greater scalability, security and operational efficiency. The article aims to analyze the main challenges and benefits of migrating from legacy systems to emerging platforms, with an emphasis on robust solutions such as Oracle APEX. A qualitative and descriptive approach was adopted, based on documentary analysis and bibliographic review. Results indicate that adopting a low-code platform integrated with the existing database simplified the transition, reduced costs and facilitated the training of teams, who were able to take advantage of previous knowledge. The creation of reusable components and internal frameworks proved to be essential for the sustainability of the process. As this is a study focused on feasibility and planning, no tests were carried out in a production environment, limited to comparative analysis and development of prototypes on a reduced scale.
