Integration Versus Transformation: Leveraging Legacy Information Assets

by William M. Ulrich

This Executive Report discusses the challenges that legacy applications and data structures place on organizations attempting to meet a wide variety of business requirements along with options for addressing these challenges. Leveraging legacy applications to meet time-critical business requirements is not a luxury in today's competitive business environment -- it is a necessity. To meet this need, organizations must utilize a combination of integration and transformation strategies, techniques, and technologies. In this report, I will compare and contrast enterprise application integration (EAI) and legacy transformation options and discuss where and when to apply one or a combination of approaches in the context of an overall information management strategy.
