Application Re-engineering & Migration |
|
| |
|
The essence of software re-engineering is to improve or transform existing software so that it can be understand, controlled, and used anew. The need for software re-engineering has increased greatly, as heritage software systems have become obsolescent in terms of their architecture, the platforms on which they run, and their suitability and stability to support evolution to support changing needs. Software re-engineering is important for recovering and reusing existing software assets, putting high software maintenance costs under control and establishing a base for future software evolution. |

Enterprise Application Integration |
|
| |
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is the unrestricted sharing of data and business processes throughout the networked applications or data sources in an organization. As enterprises grow and recognize the need for their information and applications to be shared between systems, organizations are investing in EAI in order to streamline processes and keep all the elements of the enterprise interconnected. However, many back office applications and data sources are built in proprietary technologies and were initially designed to run completely independently. |
|
| |
| Enterprise Application Integration is related to middleware technologies, and newer EAI technologies involve using web services as part of SOA as a means of integration.
BOBs EAI service offerings include following major integration services: |
 |
