Business Benefits

The framework extends third-party technologies to become Enterprise Application Modernization solutions.

Inefficient and inflexible enterprise applications hinder the flexibility of today's organizations. As a result, the demand for Enterprise Application Modernization solutions has grown at a staggering pace. The world's largest providers and consumers of technology are redirecting their resources to address the modernization challenge.

To support this effort, Relativity Technologies provides the Enterprise Application Modernization Framework. This set of technologies allows clients and partners to populate and leverage application insights stored in the Modernization Workbench®. This permits users to leverage the wealth of information the Modernization Workbench collects in order to create customized Enterprise Application Modernization solutions.

The Java Application Programming Interface (API) that Relativity Technologies makes available as part of the framework ensures a smooth integration with the Modernization Workbench's OMG® standards-based repository.

Software Vendors Can Create Modernization Solutions

The Modernization Workbench collects detailed insights into applications' structure and business models. Business process management, application modeling, SOA enablement, and other vendors can leverage this information to redeploy their own technologies. For instance, application modeling vendors can access extracted business rule documentation and process models into their modeling environments to create a complete Architecture-Driven Modernization solution.

Application Maintenance Teams & Tools Vendors Can Leverage Internal Resources

Large application maintenance organizations and analysis tools vendors often possess a wealth of intellectual property that is underused. For instance, they may have parsing technologies that were deployed to analyze applications developed in niche environments. The Enterprise Application Modernization Framework enables organizations to leverage these parsers to populate information into the Modernization Workbench repository. This flexibility enables the Modernization Workbench to support an extremely broad array of environments across the application portfolio.
