THIS WEBINAR WAS RECORDED ON ... October 10, 2007 (Wednesday) | 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (ET) INTENDED AUDIENCE: All EXPERIENCE LEVEL: All

SPONSORED BY: Corticon Technologies

ABOUT THIS SESSION:

When asked to define what constitutes a Legacy Application, Forrester Analyst Phil Murphy said “Anything that was written more that 18 months ago.” Once programmed, applications become “legacy” fairly quickly. The greatest impact when this business rules are buried in “legacy” application is for the business organization; creating transparency and agility issues when understanding and changing that logic becomes a point of organizational friction. In this article we will touch on three topics:




• Knowledge mining of legacy applications to surface critical business logic;

• The value of transforming critical business logic into business decision services following the precepts of a service oriented architecture; and




• Methods of transforming the critical business logic within your legacy applications to modern, agile business decision services.
