New look with old
system's data
Enterprise information system management is the operation of different corporate
databases, applications, and more and more often of integration and interoperability
of legacy systems, acquired through mergers and acquisitions.
These legacy systems produce structured or semistructured data that add to the vast
amounts of data that a company generates every day. This data needs to be communicated
between heterogeneous systems within the same company and eventually beyond the
company's walls.
Transformations of communicated data are required to enable companies to tightly
integrate their systems into a cohesive infrastructure without changing their applications
and systems.
We present a transformation system that uses a digram-based approach to provide
direct integration of applications and systems at the data level. Sequences of transformations
allow flexible and effective exchange of data between heterogeneous systems resulting
in a single information network
