Application Enhancement

Changes affecting organizations occur nearly every day. New regulations, shifts in business conditions, emerging technology and new strategies all require organizations to respond. In today’s increasingly automated world, those changes externally or internally to an organization must be reflected in its information systems.

Client Situation

Organizations may have legacy systems that are robust, reliable and cost effective. The systems are characterized by:

• applications that effectively execute business processes and enforce business rules
• databases that are well-defined, mature and secure, and
• performance that is reliable and fast, with large capacity.

However, resources that are qualified to work in legacy system environments are in short supply. This chronic shortage is worsening as many of the trained, experience experts in those environments are leaving the workforce. Nevertheless, organizations must support, maintain and enhance their portfolios of legacy applications.

IAI's Solution

IAI helps its clients sustain legacy systems, by developing new functionality, maintaining current systems and supporting legacy operations. Depth of experience in a wide variety of legacy environments enables IAI to respond quickly and effectively to clients’ needs to enhance existing legacy systems. IAI teams can typically analyze system requirements, add or modify new functionality, test the enhance system and support implementation in response to a change faster than an organization could possibly hire and train its own resources. Similarly, IAI teams can maintain and support existing legacy operations through periods when organization are short of organic resources to do so.

Value of this Approach

Sometimes the ability for organizations to respond to changes in their environments quickly and effectively is invaluable. This is particularly true in cases where they might otherwise be non-compliant or miss a business opportunity. IAI can provide a means for organizations to respond quickly and cost effectively to changing business conditions.
