ScienceSoft’s Approach to Legacy Application Integration
In software development since 1989, ScienceSoft engineers strategic, secure, and scalable integrations for legacy applications.
Our Priorities in Legacy Software Integration Projects
Minimized business disruptions
We start with a comprehensive assessment of dependencies, data flows, and business-critical workflows to define the ones that will be affected. We conduct gradual system updates and phased rollouts, using smart connectors and reliable fallback mechanisms to ensure smooth business operations during transitions.
Reliability and high performance
The low performance of one legacy component can drag down the entire integrated system. We implement decoupling through scalable modular integration flows, boost speed with caching and batch processing, and ensure reliability with fault-tolerant mechanisms.
Maintainability
We minimize dependencies between systems by introducing abstraction layers, such as ESBs or APIs, which can be easily swapped out or extended. Additionally, we leverage abstract communication protocols (e.g., SOAP, REST, FTP) and adopt event-driven patterns where systems communicate through asynchronous requests rather than direct calls.
Cost-efficiency
We strive to minimize initial integration implementation costs while also ensuring long-term operational savings, scalability, and ease of maintenance. We use existing tools, platforms, and infrastructure whenever possible, design reusable integration components, and adopt incremental legacy modernization strategies.
Our Key Patterns for App Integration and Interoperability
Integrating legacy systems with modern, cloud-native applications is no small feat. Legacy software often features outdated protocols, tightly coupled architectures, and limited scalability, while modern applications prioritize agility and scalability. At the heart of our methodology is the use of proven integration patterns.
