Overview
In today’s economy, organizations are taking a hard look at how to do more with what they’ve already got – how to get more productivity and profit out of assets such as people, facilities and information technology. To boost performance and earnings, they’re optimizing and automating business processes and opening new channels of Web-based self-service for partners, customers and employees.

Meanwhile, just about every business decision triggers an IT event. This usually results in urgent requirements to build or change or buy or integrate software applications. The velocity of business change is putting incredible pressure on IT departments to deliver more application support, more quickly.

One big challenge is integrating legacy systems with Web-era applications and infrastructures – “liberating” legacy assets. Once liberated, they become building blocks that can be reused as component parts of brand new systems. The payback? Exponentially faster delivery of reliable, scalable support for business change.
