IT/Business Realities Realities... Legacy apps are challenging Difficult to avoid Tricky to resolve Too important to ignore Recognizable Pains UIs with limited flexibility Applications where making changes to the business process is difficult Systems that cant support increased demand and needed data access Languages that inhibit enhancements and extension

Addressing Business Drivers Realities... Strategic Gaps Between new business needs and functionality Between technical requirements and time/resource bound capabilities Budgets and the costs of skills, resources and know-how Contending Demand Ongoing maintenance and operations versus new development
