APPLICATION MODERNIZATION
Our Portfolio Optimization solutions are for customers who want to keep mainframe applications, reduce costs, and extend their capabilities to support new business requirements. Our modernization team leverages a combination of software built to automate optimizations and decades of mainframe expertise to maximize your return on investment (ROI) and business value while retaining the mainframe.
OUR SOLUTION
Companies are rapidly consolidating their technology stacks to maximize IT performance. Whether the intent is to reduce licensing costs, simplify development cycles, or prepare for a rehost, Application Consolidation can act as a force multiplier in this process. Leveraging our Automated Refactoring solutions, we can consolidate disparate application languages into a single, optimized language. For example, languages such as CA Telon or Natural, which are intermingled with COBOL on the mainframe, can be consolidated to COBOL, eliminating licensing fees and simplifying maintenance of your application.
Our Data Replication solution allows you to liberate non-relational data without a migration. Data is often trapped in non-relational databases such as IDMS that don't integrate with modern data warehouses. This solution empowers true business intelligence by integrating these non-relational databases with relational data warehouses using our replication software without disturbing IT or end users.
Over time, data standards have been implemented and mixed across applications and databases, making change of any kind risky. Our Field Expansion solution reaches across the millions of lines of code that comprise your applications, both online and batch. It locates all field elements and group levels that might ever hold the data contained in an expanding field or column. Then, regardless of each field name, data type or current length, it applies controlled, standardized change tailored to your specific needs.
Progressive optimized their application portfolio through mainframe field expansion due to increasing number of policyholders and expanded status.
