The use of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a recognized mechanism for modernizing legacy applications. SOA provides a flexible but standard-based environment to integrate existing mission critical applications with newer Java or Microsoft .NET applications.

The concept of reusing business logic from legacy applications as building blocks for creating new modern Web, mobile or classic transaction processing systems is now well understood and has been implemented with great success by many organizations.

To enable the use of SOA to modernize and integrate legacy systems Transoft provides a SOA framework specifically developed for a wide variety of legacy programming environments. Called Transoft Component Adapters (TCA) this SOA framework enables Web Services and other services to be defined and created from existing 3GL applications. These Services can be connected to any modern application using a range of standard interfaces including Microsoft .NET (C# proxies), JavaBeans and JCA, SOAP XML, COM and even HTTP:.

TCA offers a variety of Adapters that can render legacy logic Services directly from the program code, or from existing user interfaces, or directly from the legacy database. It allows you to use SOA standards to modernize your existing applications or integrate them into new applications.
