Legacy Application Modernization

Modernizing your legacy applications doesn’t mean replacing them entirely. Instead, we focus on preserving and enhancing your core systems, ensuring you get the most value from your existing software.

Your legacy systems, like COBOL, PowerBuilder, and others, are vital to your business. These applications contain valuable data and are deeply integrated with other systems. Rather than replacing them, we help modernize and extend their capabilities to fit current platforms.

Transition to Modern Platforms

We help transition your legacy applications to modern platforms using a proven approach and advanced tools. Below are charts that outline the legacy languages we support and the target platforms and databases for migration:

Our Proven Process for Success

Our step-by-step process ensures clear deliverables, quality checks, and continuous collaboration with your team. We guarantee that your project stays on track, meets expectations, and remains within budget.

Our process goes beyond application migration. It includes project management, quality assurance, training, and ongoing support for a seamless transition. By minimizing time spent on code-and-build activities, we make the process faster and more efficient.

The chart below illustrates the different phases of the migration process:

Powerful Tools for Faster Migration

Our advanced tools accelerate the migration process, reducing manual work and ensuring an efficient and reliable transition. These tools eliminate time-consuming tasks, speeding up your migration.

Key components of our approach include:

Design Preservation Toolkit

Scans legacy data and code, creating intermediary files for the repository.

Repository

Ensures consistency and validates incoming data, preserving objects, methods, and business rules.

Forward Engineering Toolkit

Uses repository data for re-documentation, navigation, impact analysis, and forward engineering to target environments. It supports .NET, PowerHouse, and databases like Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, and more.

The Benefits

When you modernize with us, you gain key benefits:

  • Full functionality replication, ensuring your systems work just as they did before.
  • Increased flexibility and productivity, allowing your business to operate smoothly while preserving your legacy assets.
  • Cost savings, with a faster migration and reduced ongoing support costs.
  • Reduced risk, with a quicker time-to-market and minimal disruption.
  • Increased revenue, by freeing up resources to focus on higher-value tasks and unlocking new opportunities.
Modernizing your legacy systems doesn’t just extend their capabilities but also integrates them with modern technology, giving you a strong foundation for future growth.

Your Modernization Options

We offer two migration approaches: CORE-Directed and SELF-Directed, each backed by our experienced team.

CORE-Directed

Our team handles the entire migration process, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition. We manage everything, with ongoing collaboration to keep you informed. This diagram outlines our team’s responsibilities alongside yours.


SELF-Directed

If you want to take the lead, we provide support through planning and training to help your team manage the migration process. This diagram outlines how the responsibilities are shared between us and your team.
