Reengineering

Wednesday, February 16th, 2005 | Personal

So I’ve been reading a bit lately as I’m heading an analysis on a restructuring of our enterprise systems and a true pearl in the lines of books I’ve consulted lately has been Object-Oriented Reengineering Patterns by Demeyer, Ducasse and Nierstrasz. It details ways to go about reengineering object-oriented systems, the phases you progress through, what you need to remember, things to consider. It is a very pragmatic guide and even though the systems I am looking at reengineering aren’t object-oriented, sadly, then it provides an ample amount of information to not only get you started in a good way, but to remind you that there is more than a technical aspect to this, it is as much a sociological process when reengineering a company’s systems.

In order to avoid grief and possible litigation and other interesting things I am not going go into the enterprise system, why it needs reengineering or other things, so don’t ask about it.

So if you’re in a likewise position of looking at your company’s systems and figuring out what went wrong and how to go about fixing it, this book is an absolute treasure of information. Much recommended if you’re filling out an architect position.
