Corticon Legacy Application Modernization: Harvest Your Business Rules Redeploy as Decision Services.
Your legacy applications have become the de facto repositories of business knowledge for your company – your “corporate memory”. As you move to modernize these legacy applications, you need an efficient way to harvest, validate and redeploy this business knowledge for use in the new applications. Accurately preserving embedded business decisions and business rules during modernization is often cited as the primary concern of companies embarking on modernization. This is because legacy application code typically ends up being the only form of up-to-date documentation explaining the decision and their accompanying rules that are implemented by the application. But manual harvesting has proven to be very time- and labor-intensive.
Corticon’s legacy modernization solution is designed to take “time-intensive” out of the equation, and move your modernization effort from “labor-intensive” to “automatic”. With Corticon you will be equipped to address the most challenging aspects of your modernization project:
- Identify, extract and document business rules that are currently invisible to stakeholders
- Use the business rules as a foundation for requirements discussions early in the project
- Trace rules to their origin and identify interdependencies
- Validate rules that apply to processes going forward, and remove those that are obsolete
Corticon also helps you transform the business logic into rule models expressed in a form both business users and programmers can understand. With Corticon the business knowledge becomes a vital, dynamic part of your modernized applications, bringing new levels of agility to the enterprise.
- Your business logic can be managed in the form of easy-to-understand rule models, transparent, easily accessible, and auditable at any time.
- Business professionals in your organization can own the creation and management of business rules without impacting your other systems.
- The process of modifying or adding new rules based on new regulations or new business requirements is fast and easy – without the lengthy development and testing cycles normally associated with change management.
- The rule models automatically generate executable services that can be consumed and shared by legacy and new process-based applications
Corticon customers have seen dramatic increases in operational agility and significant reductions in development costs, such as:
- Extraction and re-automation of 90+% of legacy business rules
- Acceleration of change cycles from 6 months to 1 day.
- Reduction in application maintenance costs by 80%
