ABSTRACT

Over a period, IT environments and applications have evolved through several organizational changes with new regulatory requirements, mergers and acquisitions, introduction of new business processes, adoption of new technology stacks, IT upgrades, in-flux replacement projects, and others. In the process of adapting to such changing demands, the results in these organizations lead to complex, inflexible, and costly heterogeneous IT environments with redundant processes and applications, information silos, and incompatible technology.
