Careful Planning Makes All The Difference
There is a reason why many organisations have not one but many legacy middleware platforms; it’s because they are very difficult to retire. Think about it: any middleware platform that has been well used could easily be mediating hundreds of mission-critical integration flows. Often, business logic is embedded in those flows; often, the individuals that understood how they worked or where they are used in the enterprise are long gone.
The bottom line is that it’s often easier to just take the hit and leave the platform there.
But, over time, these legacy integration hubs become a brittle drain on resources and they must be decommissioned, with the integrations moved onto modern infrastructure.
Our consultants are experienced in planning migrations of interfaces from legacy platforms with many complex integrations. Our methodology cuts through the complexity and simplifies the process, breaking down the process into manageable chunks, minimising risk and enabling you to retire those legacy platforms and stem the flow of cost.
What We Do
1. DISCOVER
Our consultants will spend time with you, understanding your existing integrations and integration platform(s).
We will then review the replacement platform capabilities.
2. ANALYSE
We will assign your existing integrations into groups based on such criteria as their complexity, ease of conversion, strategic importance and operational criticality, so that we can plan a migration that reflects your needs.
3. PLAN
We will plan a migration that respects the different characteristics of each group of interfaces, ensuring that the best approach is taken for each group. This way, we can simplify the migration approach.
4. EXECUTE
Once we have planned your migration in detail, why not let us assist you in executing the migration? We can provide a range of services from managing the project through to solution architecture and implementation of complex integrations on your target platform.
