transition technologies
Technologies capable of connecting legacy systems and applications to emerging information systems. In SOA-speak, these technologies are often called "connectors," which is different from that of "converters." SOA converters are used to connect legacy systems via a common XML layer, which is then used to wire legacy systems and applications into advancing web ready systems. A common transition would be from client/server workgroup oriented workflows to that of client/Web/server business processes. An example is the use of the OOXML Microsoft Office plug-in (Microsoft Compatibility Pack) to perfect a transition to a new stack alignment of Microsoft Office/Exchange/ SharePoint/MS-SQL.See also: business process, SOA
