legacy system
Explanation:
I'm going out on a limb here; German normally uses "Altsystem" (rather than Vorsystem) for legacy system. However, reading your sentence, it sounds to me as if they are indeed referring to legacy systems. Hopefully your context will provide further clues.

Explanation:
or pre-processed files

I would use "file" instead of "system", because you don't upload, but convert systems.
