As the name Legacy Migration Solutions
implies, our focus for nearly two decades centers exclusively
on the design and creation of reengineering tools for the purpose
of transforming complete legacy applications.
From platform migration to language and database transformation,
our suite of conversion tools have solved reengineering challenges
for a wide spectrum of platform and operating system environments.
These projects include significant emphasis on IBM mainframe and
AS/400 environments.
We have exceptional experience with COBOL migration services and well seasoned tools designed
to reengineer and migrate MVS and DOS environments, CICS, VSAM,
DB2, DL1, IMS, IDMS, including IDMS-DC and ADS-O, GENER/OL and
UFO. Although the majority of our clients have elected to migrate
some combination of these environments to alternative platforms,
others have elected to remain in their original environment, eliminating
for example DL1/IMS or IDMS in favor of DB2, or GENER/OL in favor
of CICS.
Typically our goal is to utilize an extremely high degree of automation
to minimize the manual effort in the coding renovation that usually
accompanies enterprise wide reengineering and migration projects.
In addition to significantly lowering costs, automation also provides
superior uniformity of the resulting product. The final benefit
of this highly automated transformation and superior uniformity
is that resources familiar with the original applications clearly
recognize not only their original work, but find the uniformity
of the end product to be easily maintained and enhanced.
We strive to minimize operational impact of our projects and take
great care to design solutions to allow for transparency to users
in order to limit or eliminate client expenditure for user retraining.
This has been a major cost savings for a number of our clients,
who faced with the alternative of package replacement literally
saved millions of dollars in training costs alone.
One of our
customers at the end his implementation stated,
“... From our end-users' perspective this was a completely
invisible upgrade as every screen looks exactly as it did before.
So far I've had no comments from them, positive or negative, so
I am wondering if they have actually noticed we've done it - a
truly successful implementation. ..."
