Legacy Modernization

The Burden of Legacy Systems

Nobody wants to be saddled with clunky, obsolete legacy applications. After all, the core systems have undergone so many changes over the years that the source code has become defunct and virtually impossible to update.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, these apps may not offer good Web integration options, handle data slowly and clumsily, have connectivity and integration problems, offer little room for adding new services and functions and often get little or no support from the companies that created them.

Still, you invested plenty in these legacy apps back in the day, and you want to leverage whatever value they have left while you migrate to newer technology. The question is, how can you migrate without breaking your budget or spending too much time on the project?

Legacy migration: An intimidating process

At first glance, migrating from your legacy system to more-modern technology can seem intimidating.

While legacy languages like COBOL have a few more years of useful life left, platform-dependent languages such as Assembler and JCL, legacy software such as JES, VTAM, RACF, IMS, CICS and IDMS and legacy operating systems such as GCOS, MCP, MPE, VME, VSE, OS/390 and MVS are quickly gathering dust.

Meanwhile, the number of people who know mainframe technology and legacy languages is dropping rapidly. It can be very hard to pull together a team which can help you through a successful migration from old to new, and especially to find experts who can keep the legacy system running throughout the process.

How Netspective can help

You don’t need to get stuck in the legacy apps trap. Netspective has put together an unbeatable team of legacy technology experts who can make your legacy support and maintenance projects a success.

Over the years, Netspective has put together a suite of automated migration tools, proven migration methodologies and top-notch expertise to help organizations maximize the value of their legacy systems.

Using compilers from companies such as Micro Focus and Fujitsu, engineers at Netspective can run COBOL applications on the Windows platform, leaving 80 to 90 percent of the code intact. Ultimately, we can help you re-use can close to 100 percent with new runtime environment from these compilers.

Profitable, worry-free legacy transitions

Working with Netspective on your legacy modernization effort offers many benefits, including the following:

  • Creating a flexible IT environment, with new architectural paradigms like SOA allowing you to add new services and functionalities
  • Squeezing more out of your existing application investments
  • Helping you switch focus from legacy application maintenance to development of new functions and enterprise innovation
  • Eliminating connectivity and integration issues, reducing application response times and improving data handling
  • Reducing cost of maintaining of legacy systems, resulting in substantial savings in your IT budget
