Legacy Systems Transformation

With e-business and the Web Services paradigm as the de-facto approach to building Information Systems for enterprises there is a pressing need to look beyond legacy systems and to go for options which provide ease of integration and extensibility.

The emvia Legacy Transformation Practice addresses the challenges surrounding the Legacy Systems and provides a set of service offerings to:

• Protect / Reuse investments made
• Reduce maintenance and support cost
• Maximize the ROI to the organization
• Provide agility
• Cater to immediate business needs
• Provide scalability and flexibility to achieve the strategic objectives

The revitalization of the legacy systems would involve looking at any of these options:

• Replacement of legacy systems
• Enhancement and maintenance of the legacy systems
• Migration of the legacy systems

The emvia Legacy Revitalization Practice offers a suite of services which can be provided either independently or in a package.
