A Holistic Approach To Transformation
Enterprises realize exponential gains by combining modernization and service-oriented architectures (SOA) while executing their plan for transformation. Modernization provides effective alternatives for preserving existing investments in legacy applications, while SOA provides a seamless, standardized mechanism for integrating processes, systems, and applications across the enterprise. Modernization performed as part of an overall service-oriented paradigm is a highly effective way to leverage existing assets and to combine them with new value-added services. This combination provides an optimum path to realizing the strategic vision for the modernized enterprise.
After defining an enterprise transformation approach, this paper examines how to apply the principles of modernization and SOA across processes, infrastructure, applications, data, and organization. The result is an optimal state of agile integration, which enables the enterprise to be flexible and adaptable to the changing business environment.
