eGuide: New views on application modernization and the cloud
Sponsored by: IBM
Moving legacy mainframe applications to newer platforms and/or Web-enabling them has provided a certain modicum of success to organizations attempting to modernize their IT operations, but these stop-gap measures can't provide the efficiency and agility that are needed to keep up with cloud integration and other complicated modern IT trends.

However, when it comes to undertaking a complete application modernization initiative, can business process management (BPM) fill these needs? Proponents of architecture-driven modernization say 'no', but a growing number of people are now saying 'yes'.

Check out this e-guide to find out what the experts and your peers think about training the BPM lens on legacy applications to fulfill enterprise modernization needs. Read a case study detailing the role of business processes in the Army and Air Force Mutual Aid Association's application modernizations effort.
