Abstract

CIOs can facilitate their companies' shift to client/server technology without entirely discarding legacy systems by using surround strategies. Basically, surround strategies allow technology executives to compensate for the shortcomings of legacy systems by substituting client/server technology only for certain parts of the system. This is achieved by dividing legacy systems into presentation, process and data layers. The new and old components of the system are then made to communicate with each other via screen mapping, process mapping, legacy data application or legacy data servers.
