Accelerate the path to SOA-ready enterprise applications.
Operational flexibility and efficiency are imperatives for today's organizations. To confront this issue leading organizations have embraced the move to service oriented architectures (SOA). However, existing enterprise applications were rarely developed with an SOA perspective in mind. As a result, there are often significant architectural hurdles that must be overcome before SOA enablement can be achieved.
A further challenge stems from the fact that enterprise applications contain business processes that have been refined and proven over the course of years or even decades. Any SOA initiative must leverage the investment made in the development of these processes. However, uncovering and preparing these processes for legacy modernization via SOA enablement can be slowed by the task of locating them within the large base of application code.
Relativity Technologies can help. Our
Modernization Workbench® platform accelerates
Enterprise Application Modernization towards service-oriented architectures. This is especially critical because according to a
leading analyst report, 33% of best in class organizations SOA-enable their legacy applications.
The
Modernization Workbench delivers value through:
Business Rule Management Uncovers Valuable, Reusable Business Logic
Enterprise applications contain a wealth of business processes that have been refined and proven over time. By harnessing the value of this existing repository of business logic, organizations can leverage a substantial investment and avoid disruptions to existing business processes. The Modernization Workbench accelerates this process through its application modeling and business rule discovery technology. The Modernization Workbench allows users to rapidly and completely model the business logic embedded within an application, speeding SOA-enablement.
Application Insights Fast-Track Preparation for SOA
Until recently, mainframe applications were rarely developed to align with an SOA. As a result, mainframe applications often have architectural challenges that can impair their ability to be used in a service-oriented fashion. The Modernization Workbench offers rich SOA analysis that uncovers architectural hurdles and recommends application remediations to overcome these problems before they cause services to fail.
Accelerated Re-Architecting to Prepare for SOA
The Modernization Workbench offers accelerated paths to re-architect enterprise applications towards SOA readiness. Building on its business logic analysis capabilities, the Modernization Workbench offers the ability to componentize business logic into standalone elements. By componentizing business logic, organizations gain programs that contain isolated business functions that are ready for SOA enablement. Further, the Modernization Workbench offers code renovation functions that can re-architect / modernize complex legacy application code to remove architectural hurdles before they compromise your SOA.
