Where Legacy Meets SOA

1 L e g a S u i t e

Responding at the Speed of BusinessToday, every business decision triggers an IT event. One of the many pressing challengesfor enterprise IT is how to accelerate application development to keep up. The pain isespecially acute for customer-facing business processes where you want to:

• Reduce cycle times• Open self-service channels• Tear down self-induced process silos• Fuse disconnected parts into highly efficient and automated processes quickly• Easily change those business processes (and the software that supports them)going forward

The need for speed and built-in adaptability is driving fundamental changes in applicationdevelopment, and boosting IT response across all industries. Key trends include:

• Service-oriented architecture (SOA)• Composite application development• Workflow automation and management• Legacy application re-use

In this brave, new world, building software applications no longer means “writing a lotof code from scratch.” In fact, leading IT organizations seek to avoid re-automatingbusiness processes that are already in production. The key is to pull new, untappedvalue out of existing systems by transforming them into componentized reusableservices that can be easily exposed to the Web, and easily combined with otherapplication components (new and old) to rapidly support evolving business processes.

Where will you turn to drive the greatest value from your legacy assets?

Rapid Legacy TransformationLegaSuite supports the complete spectrum of legacy access and integrationrequirements for the enterprise, enabling disparate systems to talk to each other, tothe systems of other members of your value chain and to your end users via multiplechannels. LegaSuite is designed to be used by your current IT staff and to take themystery out of legacy applications.

Integrate Across Application Silos

LegaSuite provides what proprietary business applications lack—an SOA-standardinterface that requires no knowledge of the underlying COBOL, RPG, Fortran, C++,HTML or Java code. Whether you’re liberating traditional legacy systems such asmainframes or character-based UNIX applications, or the “new legacy” of client/serverWindows and Web applications, LegaSuite adds an abstraction layer that allows you toefficiently integrate legacy systems with any standards-compliant software, for example:

• Application suites from SAP, PeopleSoft, Siebel, Oracle• Middleware including webMethods, TIBCO, WebSphere MQ, MQSI, NetWeaver andCordys

• App servers such as WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, SunOne, Oracle 10g,JBoss, Tomcat

• Portal frameworks including Plumtree, WebSphere Portal, BEA WebLogic Portal

Wrap Transactions and Publish as Web Services

LegaSuite’s power tools let your current IT staff wrap legacy transactions and processesinto callable objects that expose XML, J2EE, .NET, WSDL and SOAP interfaces—all atonce! Anyone who has struggled to hand code connectors between proprietary legacysystems and any of the standards-compliant software mentioned above willimmediately appreciate the speed and ease of development, the scalability andperformance of the end result, the complete abstraction of the exposed interface (yourJ2EE and .NET developers won’t need to know anything about the back end system!)and the maintenance time savings of code-free implementation.

Enabling Your Migration Strategies

LegaSuite helps you manage the migration path as aging systems are phased out andreplaced. By transforming legacy assets into callable objects with industry standardinterfaces, LegaSuite provides a “shock absorption” layer of abstraction, so you canswap out underlying systems at any time transparently to the end user. Migrate off ofold systems at your own pace, with dramatically reduced risk.

Redefining the User Experience

LegaSuite’s powerful GUI development and emulation modules allow you to createsophisticated user interfaces for green-screen applications, and provide end users withflexible, secure Web access to business applications. GUI features such as tabbedworkbooks, charts, calendars, drop-down list boxes and mouse-overs are added quicklywith ease. Most customers find that worker productivity and customer satisfactionimprove exponentially.

Customers also use LegaSuite to integrate business applications or specific processeswith portal frameworks, unifying disparate applications in a portal-managed desktopworkspace.
