== Relationship to MDA ==
Existing (or ''legacy'') software has been one of biggest obstacles for applying [[model-driven architecture]]. Ironically, the acronym for architecture-driven modernization (ADM) is ''MDA in reverse''. MDA is the acronym for OMG's model-driven architecture, which purports the use of models and transformations to deliver new software. ADM is related to the concept of [[reverse engineering]]. [[Software modernization]] is ''architecture-driven'' when there is the need to capture and retool various architectural aspects of existing application environments. This modernization does not preclude source-to-source migrations (where appropriate), but encourages user organizations to consider modernization from an analysis and design based perspective. In doing so, project teams will ensure that obsolete concepts or designs are not propagated into modern languages and platforms. The bottom-line results deliver modernized systems that conform more effectively to current business practices and strategic requirements.<ref>{{cite book|author=Object Management group | title=Second Architecture-Driven Modernization workshop| url= http://www.omg.org/news/releases/pr2005/08-30-05.htm|date=October 24, 2005}}</ref>
