Object Management Group's legacy modernization work focuses on developing ADM standards
|
Think you can put off your legacy modernization efforts any longer? Not if you're
running out of ways to extend your legacy systems to meet current business needs, and
William M. Ulrich argues that most IT organizations are. Ulrich is president of TSG Inc.,
a business and IT consulting firm in Soquel, Calif. He is also leading the effort toward
standards-based Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM), co-chairing the Object Management Group's ADM Task Force along
with Djenana Campara, CEO of KDM Analytics Inc.
"From my perspective, IT is running into walls it can't find ways over anymore,"
Ulrich said. "Business is pushing very hard to get IT organizations to realign their
architecture to accommodate the value stream and the business streamlining going on
right now. [IT has] already shipped a bunch of code offshore, set up some SOA structure,
wrapped and rewrapped, and they still have all this spaghetti architecture. We've already
tried all the tricks in our bag, and now there's not a lot of things left, but one is
modernization. There is both business pressure and IT desire to get the architecture
cleaned up."
