Legacy Systems Integration

Many companies are struggling to maintain profitability due to outdated, cumbersome, or redundant procedures that are required at all levels of their organization due to a complex maze of poorly planned and outdated legacy applications. Is your company mired in redundant procedures? Do your employees spend too much time trying to navigate through a complex maze of applications, databases, and pen-and-paper files?

Enterprise application integration (EAI) streamlines business processes by reducing the amount of redundant data and procedures, and by allowing vendors and clients automated access into your business functions in a secure, scalable manner.

Legacy applications provide the backbone of business functions for many large companies. These systems are usually not scalable - they live on proprietary software and on antiquated mainframe or minicomputer systems. However, these applications are the workhorses of a business, often providing mission-critical functions, and they often times still provide measurable ROI - at least their current ROI greatly outweighs the cost of replacing them.

Legacy applications, however, are usually not scalable, nor are they easily integrated with other applications or with newer technologies. This is where EAI saves the day by utilizing cutting-edge technologies like XML and Web services to bridge the gap between legacy and new client-server based applications.
