ApplicAtion ModernizAtion

The world runs on systems that have been doing the heavy lifting of

business processes for many years and decades. Modernizing these

legacy applications is a challenging task. If replacing them is conside-

red too risky, innoWake‘s proven technology allows the highest degree

of automation for modernization.

The core business logic can be extracted into services and integrated

into business process management systems. An important factor is

that there is no need to hire new employees or change the current IT

strategy: innoWake‘s technology is so easy to use that existing staff can

effectively participate in the modernization effort.

GUIOrientedModernization

GUI oriented modernization retains

the control logic from the exis-

ting programs, retaining most of

the functionality. However, the

limitations of the character based

screens can be left behind and the

wealth of features available to gra-

phical applications leveraged.

ServiceOrientedModernization

Service oriented modernization se-

parates the presentation layer from

existing programs, feeding and the

control layer into the application-

builder‘s model. The model allows

generating Swing or GWT applica-

tions. An extensible and customiz-

able rule set transforms the exis-

ting application into services.

InventoryAn inventory of all programs that require modernization is created. The programs fall into various categories (mainte-nance, browse, etc), including dialog control.

TransformationThe programs are sliced into services. This process encom-passes defining and applying a call structure (error channel, context channel) and removing display commands.

AssemblyAfter the transformation is complete, a manual final assembly stage follows. This step includes customization of the application‘s front end (combining and simplifying

business process) and service structure.

TestingModernized legacy applications must perform the same tasks at the same level of reliability as the origianl application.innoWake‘s toolset contains everything required to record

unit, integration, and unit tests that can be played back in batch.

DeploymentAfter testing successfully, the application gradually deploy into productive use. innoWake‘s tools also contain the application lifecycle management tools to support audit safe processes.
