CIO questions · Data, legacy & integration
How do I use AI with legacy systems?
The short answer
Decouple AI from system-specific protocols. Encapsulate systems through APIs, drivers, manifests, events and tools. The AI layer should depend on the required capability, not on internal ERP or mainframe details.
Onni implements this principle through manifest + driver and an integration bus that centralizes queries, commands and events.
How to decide
- Encapsulate by API, driver, manifest, events and tools
