Maximizing the value of Systems of Engagement

Enterprises must work towards transforming their Systems of Record in a manner that best addresses their winning partnership with the Systems of Engagement. The abstract for the HP Discover 2013 session, DT3024 - Systems of Record: extracting value from your traditional applications asserts, “If you want to be effective, you need to understand your current applications portfolio, rationalize it and selectively migrate it to the cloud.” As narrated in this video on HP Applications Transformation and Systems of Engagement, Systems of Record can’t be overlooked. After all, they run today’s organizations even though they may be complicated and expensive.

Modernization of legacy mainframe applications has been progressing for years. Enterprises take strategic steps to modernize, driven by key business drivers and financial benefits. However, the applications on a modernized platform still require the basic, time-tested skills of software engineering and system architecture.
