Legacy Modernization: Architecting Real-Time Systems around a Mainframe
At its heart, our transformation journey is about breaking dependencies at multiple levels. Many enterprises face similar challenges with legacy systems: tightly coupled architectures that are difficult to scale, change, or maintain. For us at National Grid, the solution came through four complementary paradigms that worked together to enable different forms of decoupling.
