Modern Application Architecture Techniques Legacy applications are composed of many programs in a single monolithic application, making them very difficult to enhance, maintain and test. In addition, their size and complexity make it difficult for programmers to manage them efficiently. Modularization is the key to improving maintainability and agility of legacy applications. It is achieved by separating your programs into reusable components that are then used throughout the application. When you transition from monolithic to modern, there are many paths, all of which include at least one of the following: MVC, service enabling and elegant architecture. Chris and Ray will look at the various approaches on the journey to modern applications, discuss tools and techniques, share customer examples and provide suggested architectures. The ROI using this approach includes agility of the entire IT department, overall reduced maintenance and the capacity for enterprise integration. Learning Objectives:

Open Access Magic! Restructure Your Database Without Modifying Applications The database is the foundation of any application. It’s the last tier you’ll remove, and the first tier you’ll want to extend or transform. Modernizing your database from DDS to DDL is part of the transformation, but there’s also real value in changing the structure of your entire database – normalizing it, splitting or merging tables, changing field type or length, etc. A modernized structure is key to helping you meet evolving business needs. |
