4. How long will it take for a migration project?

The length of time to migrate any given application depends on a number of factors including the number and types of programs (CICS, ADSO, IDMS/DC, IMS/DL/I, GENER/OL, UFO etc.) requiring conversion, the type of database, the overall complexity of the code, the target platform and environment, your experience in the target platform and environment, and the level of service you choose.

5. What is the difference between a Clean Compile Conversion and Full Conversion?

In a Full Conversion we convert, compile, and test the online and batch per the client provided test scripts, readying the code for implementation. In a Clean Compile we convert and compile the code and return it to the customer for testing.

10. What are the benefits of Migrating verses packages?

Continued application ownership eliminates risk associated with reliance on package software vendors.

Migrating allows platform modernization without the cost and risk of application replacement. Migrating also reduces user impact keeping focus on business thus reducing opportunity for negative business trends.
