Talking with Romi Stein, CEO of OpenLegacy. This is another segment in an ongoing exploration of the integration problem in cloud computing.
Insurance providers with legacy IT systems and data stored in monolithic core applications will struggle to reap the benefits of the AI revolution. Here’s why—and what they can do about it.
Talking with OpenLegacy COO Zeev Avidan about the need for far simpler legacy modernization, working from existing on-premises silos and any data feed, to provide cloud-ready digital services to meet business demands, without maintaining complicated spaghetti integration code.
As a technology leader who has spent decades working with organizations with legacy infrastructure, particularly mainframe and midrange systems, I've seen the challenges of digital transformation firsthand.
I use the broad catchall term "digital transformation" here to denote everything from modernizing architecture (e.g., moving to the cloud) to software development practices (e.g., DevOps) to product offerings (e.g., development of new digital services) in an effort to better serve customers. This can be a particularly harrowing journey for organizations with extensive legacy architecture.
OpenLegacy, a pioneer in digital-driven integration for core legacy systems, announced today a partnership with Boomi, a Dell Technologies business, a cloud-native integration and workflow automation platform known for its speed, ease-of-use and low total cost of ownership. Through this partnership, OpenLegacy aims to provide easy, superior legacy connectivity to help Boomi's enterprise customers access data in legacy systems.
Boomi's integration platform as a service (iPaaS) covers a broad range of customer use cases and connectivity, and OpenLegacy complements Boomi by providing API-driven access to metadata and data from legacy assets such as AS/400, IMS, VSAM.

APIs make it possible for customers to open and fund new accounts instantly and remotely. As a corollary, they help banks bring in deposits when people can’t visit a branch. The technology pulls data from mobile applications, ATMs, call centers and chat conversations into systems that use it to send timely and topical messages to customers. APIs also enable capabilities like real-time Bank Secrecy Act checks — an invaluable tool for banks struggling to process the onslaught of Paycheck Protection Program loans provided by the Small Business Administration to stem the tide of losses from the coronavirus crisis.

In February, before the bottom dropped out of the market and COVID-19 became part of our everyday lives, Princeton-based OpenLegacy, a company with a unique solution that allows large enterprises to leverage their older mainframes for services both on premises and on the cloud, received a $20 million strategic investment from Tokyo-based SBI Holdings.
Today, almost 4.54 billion people were active internet users as of January 2020, encompassing 59% of the global population as of 3 February 2020, according to Statista. That includes digital customers – especially the tech-savvy millennials – who want to interact with banks and financial services online; moreover, they want to do it with security and mobility.
Application modernization startup OpenLegacy Inc. has raised $20 million to help it pursue its mission of helping financial services companies move their information technology infrastructures into the cloud-native era.

Japan's SBI Holdings has invested $20 million in OpenLegacy Technologies, an American software firm that smooths API integration of core banking systems. Citi, FIS and BNP Paribas-Cardif are among the clients for OpenLegacy's platform, which helps them to create microservices-based APIs to extend their core banking systems to the digital world, including the web, mobile and cloud.
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) was the great hope of organizations decades ago when they sought to advance legacy system integration, reduce and bypass layers, and rapidly access the system of record. At the time, the existing solution was point-to-point integration, creating a brittle “spaghetti” middle layer that was hard to manage. This was replaced by SOA, which was later augmented with ESB. This fixed the spaghetti mess by creating an intermediate set of layers, which added complexity to the integration process.
Contrary to popular belief, the world is not full of start-ups. There’s a reason the world’s top X companies lists exist – these well-established powerhouses have been around for decades.

Mainframes, legacy systems, and COBOL are getting a bad rap that they just don’t deserve. COBOL is still a common, business-oriented language, contrary to the reports of its demise at the hands of JAVA, Python, and Ruby. COBOL is easy to learn and easy to read and it delivers high performance when compiled.

When considering any IT infrastructure changes, the most critical consideration is “Do the benefits and value of a new technology solution override its costs?” In the case of adopting microservices, the answer is definitely yes, especially as they accelerate time to market of new applications for demanding customers while leveraging the stability of legacy systems.
OpenLegacy has allied with Compuware to make it easier to build and debug microservices-based applications employing REST application programming interfaces (APIs) to access data residing on mainframes.
What’s the best approach for application modernization: Maintain the monolithic architecture, or break it into individual microservices? This is an important question, especially for IBM i shops that are looking to take their considerable investment in encoded business logic to the next level.

The road to DevOps success is littered with myths and misconceptions. Here are the largest potholes you need to avoid. While DevOps is firmly grounded in reality, numerous myths and misconceptions have grown up around the concept.
The key to organizational success in every vertical today is to access legacy or backend systems — the workhorse — without creating more code and holding up agile and DevOps — the thoroughbreds that accelerate digital transformation.
The factors driving the cloud micro services market is, with rapid enhancement in advanced technologies, use of connected devices and digital solutions is gaining high momentum due to which, the scope of digital transformation is getting broader.
“When digital transformation is done right, it’s like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, but when done wrong, all you have is a really fast caterpillar.” The complex nature of digitalization, cleverly summed up by the renowned MIT Professor George Westerman, is even more intricate for the financial services sectors.
Microservices architecture has paved way to new approaches in application programming interfaces (API), which allows setting a more agile development in delivering services to clients. The architecture based on microservices is a new way to creating next-generation cloud infrastructures.
