Integration of legacy systems into a modern enterprise SOA (part 1)

In the last few weeks I engaged in thinking about how to integrate legacy systems into a modern enterprise SOA. I will publish some of the results here in the next weeks.

Integration of legacy systems into a modern enterprise SOA

1. Introduction

Legacy systems and mainframes are still an important part of current IT environments. In some companies they even stil belong to the core business, which could not operate without them. In the course of the last years modern company and IT architectures have been introduced. This led to an uncontrolled growth of different integration scenarios. The introduction of (web-) services or whole SOA structures forces many IT responsibles to reconsider their integration architecture. The SOA integration is often the first step of a bigger project of modernization of the legacy systems and their interfaces.

I suggest a holistic, integrated approach for consolidation and modernization for your integration between legacy systems and your SOA landscape. An analysis of both sides of the interface should be performed and hereupon a suitable integration solution can be proposed and implemented. It is important to design future-proof interfaces for your IT landscape.

If you need help in one of those topics, please don't hesitate to contact me... :-)

Part 2 will follow next week...
