Abstract

This chapter outlines the process of interfacing data platforms with pre-existing applications systems called legacies. Issues of product fulfillment, connectivity of legacy databases and processes, and integration of multiple systems architecture are covered. The objective of Chap. 10 is to set out a detailed pathway to ultimately converting legacy systems within the architecture required for building robust data platforms. We recognize that existing systems cannot be converted overnight and that data architects need to build “legacy links” that keep both the old and new systems functioning, while feeding a central repository of data. This chapter also provides the necessary processes, recommended procedures, and reporting techniques that support higher rates of project success. Many projects have suffered because the management was not able to appropriately manage the contracted vendors. Organizations make the mistake of assuming that outsourced development and management is a safeguard for successful project completion. They must understand that third-party vendors are not a panacea for comfort and that rigorous management processes must be in place in order to ensure a successful project.
