Modernization

The massive adoption of object development technologies such as J2EE and .Net is one of the major events of recent years. One consequence of this adoption is the constitution, little by little, of a genuine heritage applications based on these technologies.

In order not to see declining value of this heritage, we offer solutions tailored to modernize this type of applications.
 

These solutions meet the following requirements :

 

 

SOA Evolution

To cope with the new challenges of enterprises, information systems must adapt continuously. The n-tier architectures and service-oriented approaches (SOA) are designed to respond to this problem by minimizing the coupling between different parts of the system, whether internal or external to the company.

 

 

Yet, can be seen regularly, the adoption and implementation of these principles take much longer than anticipated. In due, in part, the difficulty in identifying the components affected and the extent of changes to make.

 

 

To accelerate adoption, Mia-Modernization provides the following benefits:

 

  • Better understanding of the system architecture to evolve
  • Automation architectural changes to be applied

Integration of new standards development

The new development technologies are constantly evolving. So every day appear new components (or more recent versions of existing components) which introduce a new standard of development.

 

 

These developments are inevitable, and there are indeed many reasons that can justify to integrate a new component:

 

 

 

  • Performance
  • Cost
  • Maintainability
  • Timeliness
  • Availability of skills

 

To minimize the risks and costs of integrating new standards for development, an approach equipped with Mia-Modernization provides the following benefits:

 

 

  • Better identification of the impact on the existing system
  • Comparable Businesses
  • Automation of code changes to apply

Improving quality

The new development technologies are supposed to facilitate the maintenance of new applications. In practice, there is often the reverse. Indeed, the reasons for this increasing complexity are many:

 

 

  • Heterogeneity: developing a complete application requires the mastery of many technologies (for an application developed in J2EE eg HTML, Javascript, XML, Java, SQL, plus frameworks such as Struts, Hibernate, Spring, ...). In addition, the systems are increasingly being developed with mixed technology (eg presentation .Net, middle-tier Java and on back-end mainframe).
  • Scalability: competing technologies being rude, each must improvement, which leads to frequent delivery of new versions not always compatible with the previous ones.
  • Burst: concepts objects, and now the approach SOA, pushing the architects to think in terms of components rather than monolithic terms of application. The master of an application now goes by that of its constituent components and the interaction of these components.
  • Size: these principles assembly and interoperability between different systems lead to the construction of systems become more complex. It is increasingly difficult to understand and develop this type of system.

 

To facilitate the mastery of these complex applications, equipped with a  Mia-Modernization provides the following benefits:

 

  • Better understanding of system components
  • Rationalization of these components by automatic integration of best practices
