            Abstract : 
This is an experience report on the architectural reengineering of a large software portfolio. In order to minimize the risks of such an undertaking, companies tend tube conservative when considering their options. We have examined how this risk-averse attitude affects the project and we present the solution we have taken to counter these effects.
