About SOA mainframe and legacy application modernization
Application modernization is one of the primary drivers of SOA initiatives. An SOA approach is best for companies looking into service-based practices. When companies begin using SOA, they achieve business agility by enabling business process management, and application modernization can help reduce cost and complexity while increasing functionality. Application modernization also allows enterprise organizations to maintain the use of existing assets such as mainframes and legacy applications. Learn more about implementing SOA and the integration and modernization of mainframes and legacy applications.
