Everyone has questions about the cost of their current systems, especially those with mainframes running legacy applications in COBOL and CICS. Many want to "modernize", to somehow get away from massive budgets with questionable justifications.

The Question: How do you find an affordable solution to the COBOL + Mainframe system you are running?

Our Answer: Translate, then Update.

Can you move millions of lines of COBOL/CICS code from that expensive mainframe to a new environment affordably without risking your operation?

Can you handle your COBOL staffing problems while moving into current technology environments?

Save up to 90% of your COBOL/CICS mainframe budget.
Leave current business processes alone.
Reduce Time / Talent / Risk to zero
Use your existing testing suite Maintain in COBOL or Java

When Linux and Windows Intel MIPS are a hundred [100] times more cost-effective than an IBM mainframe, you have a lot to gain -- if you could get there... You could buy a 5-way, high availability, completely virtualized replacement, be faster, more secure, more connected, humming with current technology, save massively, pay later out of cost savings, handle staffing problems... Can I do that?

          If you live in the real world with shrinking budgets, read on...

Why would you leave those old processes alone? Isn't that the point of modernization? Look: the biggest cause of failure is the risk that the entire process of modernizing will be too difficult, will never get done, that you'll double your strained budget and fail. Happens all the time... 

          You need to move your app to an affordable platform, Then update it!

If you picked the right modernization tool, you could quickly, automatically move those "Big Apps" to a Java/J2EE compatible version, and maintain in both COBOL and Java... That's worth another look...

          I could do both? And choose when...? I need more info...!

Testing Suite? If you take Any Other Approach, you get to fabricate a testing and validation plan from scratch. That's very risky, intense, and laborious. It's simply painful. We'll let you use the one you've had for all these years...

          To quickly get to that new Production Platform, we want you to use your existing Test Plan

The problem is this: if you want to do any of the "RE" efforts -- re-architect, re-design, rewrite, renovate, renew -- you have to start funding a parallel effort with big tech talent -- or put the entire effort at risk from the start. The staff -- the folks that administer your daily operations are probably not the guys to do that big "RE" project:   Most conversion efforts fail due to lack of time and talent.

          After 1000's of failed conversions, we have an answer that Really Works...!
