Model Driven Integration (MDI) is a radically new approach to integrating, migrating and consolidating prior software investments. It raises the level of abstraction from non-transparent, mostly undocumented code to unambiguous executable models which serve simultaneously as documentation and production runtime. The resulting development speed, quality, transparency and control induce a decisive shift from a dependency on individuals to an exclusive – and desired – dependency on architecture and process. This is a critical factor in restoring a functioning dialog between business and IT.
