Reflections on Re-architecting 2-tier to 3-tier

SimCorp is re-architecting SimCorp Dimension from a 2-tier to 3-tier architecture. The code base is more than 10 millions lines of code and several technology stacks are used including native C compiled and managed .NET.

In this presentation we will share experiences on how such a project can be planned and executed from a technology point of view. Secondly, we will touch on how we see computer scientists getting excited about refactoring frameworks designed around 2-tier into 3-tier, simply because it is challenging and fun.
