ACHIEVING INTEROPERABILITY OF LEGACY SYSTEMS USING WEB SERVICES

Abstract

In modern times, more and more business processes becomes permeated with information technologies. The aim is to improve work processes and communications using software systems. These trends require additional resources whose absence leads to the creation of Legacy systems. The main feature of all Legacy systems is discontinuity in development which results in a limited ability of interaction with other software systems. This paper presents concrete solutions that enable the integration of such systems with modern software solutions. Enabling interoperability through integration with Web Services brings new features and extends the life of Legacy systems.
