 Presentation
Extending the Value of Core Legacy Systems through Renovation to SOA
Many core information technology (IT) systems in global companies have been in service for years - even decades. Developeed on and optimized for legacy platforms, these systems are difficult to link to new technologies such as Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA). They also lack the flexibility to adapt quickly to changing business requirements.
