Legacy Transformation

Legacy systems, especially those built on mainframes, were designed to run and exchange data in batch mode, primarily via proprietary file systems. For the most part, both data and applications are often locked without any access to the world outside of the mainframe. In short, the mainframe is often an island on which your data and applications are marooned - cut off from the rest of your organization. But these marooned applications still run and support your core business processes. They contain millions of lines of code – built over the years and represent institutionalized knowledge that is difficult to recreate or replace.

So how do you unlock and leverage these valuable assets so they can play a central role in your IT ecosystem? How do you transform, modernize, and expose your old legacy systems and data so they can integrate with your modern state-of-the-art applications? Do you rip and replace or modernized in place? Whatever approach you take, success will required deep knowledge, expertise, and experience with both mainframes and modern distributed technologies.
