Why Modernize?
In a widespread effort to grow productivity and effectiveness, organizations today are examining options to modernize existing application portfolios into systems based on the service-oriented architecture (SOA) standard. In particular, the mission-critical � �legacy� � systems that were created a decade or more ago were never intended to run core operations in the context of a strongly web-enabled infrastructure; these system therefore represent a significant, growing liability.
