Tool Aided Migration |
| |
| Abstract |
How can existing IT products be leveraged to meet current and future business objectives? There
are two solutions; Redevelopment of existing IT applications to meet changing technology / business
environment or migrating them to the changed scenario. While redevelopment is very expensive and
time consuming, the migration path offers a cost-effective solution.
CIOs and CTOs constantly grapple with the enormous challenge of aligning the spectrum of existing IT resources in tune with new business and technology directions. At one end of the spectrum are modern applications that leverage and capitalize on the potential of the Internet, while the other end comprises traditional, close-ended, legacy business systems.
In the midst of this technological diversity comes a startling finding: market research estimates
indicate that more than 70% of corporate data still resides in legacy systems! The challenge before
technology and business leaders is to successfully manage and re-deploy legacy systems to meet
tomorrow's business needs.
Patni defines 'reengineering' projects as those involving redesign, confined to some modules of the
product, where 'migration' projects involve changes scattered over all the modules of the product.
This white paper will review Patni's handling expertise in migration projects that could help you
develop your legacy migration strategy.
