Welcome to IT Legacy Today, a blog dedicated to IT Legacy System Modernization and Reengineering. Here, through the various post, we present Concepts and Plans and give recommendations, mostly for AS400 systems (or whatever name you prefer), so that you have a better option--rather than migrate to a different architecture. A migration, you may know, that is likely to fail by 50 to 75%, costs a lot more, takes longer, and accomplish less than planned.
Blogs would mainly consist of a series of related posts, presenting and proposing a course of action to achieve a modern, re-engineered system--in a cost-effective way. I would also offer a detailed project plan adapted to your specific’s requirements and circumstances.
Your constructive comments are very welcome. Enjoy
