About Our Project

The customer is acquiring new systems as part of consolidating the market, and all these systems have to be united into a future platform. Some will continue as is, while others need modernization. Some areas need individual parts carved out or need to be rebuilt from scratch using better architecture. We will also need to upgrade customers to a future better platform before sunsetting the old one. Despite all these different approaches, almost all of them have to talk together, either temporarily or permanently.
