Building a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a strategic initiative for many leading enterprises and serves as the foundation for building composite applications, orchestrating business processes, and creating a flexible ‘future-proof’ IT architecture.
To capitalize on SOA, enterprises must make their existing applications part of their SOA initiative by ‘service-enabling’ them, i.e. making their core services available as standard and reusable web services. While some applications can be repackaged easily as standard Web Services, legacy systems such as those that run on the mainframe, Tandem, or OpenVMS prove to be a challenge due to their proprietary design and technologies.
Making Existing Software Assets Part of SOA
Attunity Connect is integration software that enables the rapid deployment of software solutions that make existing legacy applications and enterprise data part of an SOA. Using AIS, companies can quickly repurpose legacy business logic as web services as well as create a service oriented data layer.
