The legacy modernization journey often requires a continuous transformation of critical back-end systems with the goal to reduce IT ecosystem complexities and costs, increase data consistency, streamlining collaboration across teams and platforms, and improve process flexibility and efficiency. Manufacturers increasingly turn to “Smart Factory” technologies that optimize the production processes and blur the lines between the “digital” and the world of shop floor reality. The success of implementations heavily depends on the ability of the core applications to provide and consume the key data in near real-time. Companies running on legacy application stacks and platforms such as IBM i (AS/400) are often faced with a choice: integrate and modernize the existing back-end applications, or migrate to new systems. This is a critical decision that has a lasting impact on a company’s ability to adapt to ever-changing market conditions.
In many cases, companies take a middle road, migrating non-differentiating generic components while retaining and modernizing their critical line of business applications. There are several modernization headwinds that must be identified and addressed upfront for a successful outcome. Comprehensive Enterprise integration and API architecture greatly complement a successful modernization strategy, reduce the risks and provide a blueprint for connecting the enterprise systems while maximizing reuse and self-service.
