The demands
for enterprise system modernization are driven by mainly two reasons: 1) many
systems are aging, and cannot meet current e-business and e-government
requirements; and 2) most enterprise architecture (EA) products are created in
the business layer and at a high-level in the system and technology layers,
which need to be carried over to system implementation. Gaps exist in most
organizations between enterprise architecture and system level modernization
efforts. Our Enterprise System Modernization service is to help organizations
in developing solutions to close the gaps between bottom-up system
modernization efforts and top-down EA endeavors.
Relationship to Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise
system modernization is a continuation of enterprise architecture development.
It is also complementary to enterprise architecture development in terms of
scope refinement, more detail coverage, and carry through conceptual models to practical
implementation in a continuous operation environment. The combined efforts of
enterprise architecture development and legacy system modernization can assist
an organization to reach its new-age enterprise modernization goals with high
efficiency and high productivity, and in a practical manner.
