Legacy integration remains a major issue in the systems engineering world. Although many temporary solutions have proved successful for existing systems, the need to support dynamic and real‐time business process opportunities will require that we take a closer look at a more long‐term system solution (Sprott et al. 2002). This paper presents a high‐level introduction that will focus on using Data Reverse Engineering (DRE) and the use of patterns as a methodology to solve legacy system integration. Reverse engineering is a viable long‐term solution that will evolve legacy systems in a disciplined manner in order for it to meet new requirements (SEI 1995).
