Modernization of enterprise systems

Abstract

A growing trend in the digital transformation of Enterprises has led to an increase in the modernization of enterprise architecture. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Microservices (MSA) are the latest trends in software architecture; however, they have their advantages and disadvantages. This thesis explores the strategies to modernize enterprise systems such as Monolithic and Legacy applications to modern systems using a trade-off of SOA, MSA, and Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP). Based on design science this research contributes an artifact to be used as a reference when modernizing enterprise architecture.
