Information Systems Transformation

Every major enterprise has a significant amount of tilted IT installations. Most of these systems were designed to support business architectures that have changed dramatically. At best, these systems hinder agility and competitiveness, to worst, can bring critical business functions to a halt.

Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM) restores the value of entrenched systems by capturing and retooling.

This book provides a practical guide to the management of information. It includes an introduction to ADM disciplines, tools, and standards as well as a series of scenarios outlining how ADM is applied to various initiatives. Drawing upon lessons, ideas, practices and practices.

* Acts as a one-stop shopping reference and complete guide for the purpose of modernization models in myriad industries and departments.

* Every concept is illustrated with real-life examples.

* Authored by the Co-chair of the Object Management Group (OMG) Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM) Task Force, which sets the definitive systems of modernization standards for the entire IT industry.

* ADM Specifications, Tutorials, and Whitepapers, allowing you to develop up to date on modernization as they develop.
