Sounds just like the investment banks I worked for. The software is just accretion of patches and fixes. Betas and hacks that make it into production because no-one is allowed to re-engineer things correctly. Imagine in 2017 still having to run IE6 because there's a web-ui written in a COBOL system back in early 2000 that everyone is afraid to touch. And supporting Solaris 2.6 for similar reasons. You don't have to imagine.
