1. A method for structured development of migration options in a legacy transactional enterprise, the method comprising:
- identifying components of the legacy enterprise;
developing risk factors for the components of the legacy enterprise;
identifying unmet opportunities;
developing risk factors for the unmet opportunities;
identifying potential components for the legacy enterprise;
developing risk factors for the potential components of the legacy enterprise; and
developing the migration options with associated risks using at least the risk factors for the components, the risk factors for the unmet opportunities and the risk factors for the potential components.

Abstract
Using adaptions of option pricing techniques from the financial industry, the invention provides systems and methods for structured development of migration options in a legacy transactional enterprise. Components and risk factors of the legacy enterprise are identified and determined, as well as components and risk factors of unmet opportunities, and potential components for the enterprise. Migration options for the enterprise are developed using the components and risk factors.
