Evolution of legacy systems : strategic and technological issues, based on a case study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this experience report is to highlight the strategic and managerial issues that are likely to be involved in any migration or evolution effort of large-scale legacy systems. The report is based on a specific case study of a large organisation in the Belgian health care and social security system. Major drivers for a legacy evolution effort are identified. Emphasis is put on the required management and planning view, rather than on the mere technological issues. Their constituent elements are discussed in some detail.
