Could you reveal anything about what the existing application (EA) is and what it does? We don't know what the EA was connected to, so there can't know if Koha would work as middleware. It might be simpler to write your own middleware in Symfony (I have grown fond of Guzzle), or some other framework and just pull the data into a database that has the same structure as your old system.
