Legacy transformation is the process of understanding and
evolving existing software assets. Legacy transformation restores the value
of the existing application as it extracts and leverages the investment in
the intellectual property of the existing software to deliver new solutions
that address changed business requirements. Legacy transformation is used
when the regular maintenance activities can not longer address the changes.
While for a large number of organizations the need for transformation of
their business-critical software is triggered by certain external events
(for example, the need to provide Web-access to an existing application, or
the need to port away from an unsupported platform), for vendors of
software-intensive products the evolution of existing code base is a vital
part of day-to-day software development and maintenance. This white paper
from the Legacy Transformation Working Group, explains why there is a great
need for standardization of legacy software.
