Source Technologies

Our Approach

With more than 35 years of modernization experience, Modern Systems empowers customers to modernize at their own pace while reducing risk, project timelines, and cost each step of the way.

Modern Systems' modernization expertise focuses on many source application languages (e.g. COBOL, Natural, CA Gen, CA Telon, IBM VisualAge Gen, Assembler and ADS/O) and source database technologies (e.g. Adabas, IDMS, IDMSX, IMS, and VSAM). Our legacy migration and modernization services include a complete strategy, methodology, and battle-tested process, from conception through deployment. Modernizing legacy systems enable organizations to protect legacy assets, reduce maintenance costs, provide agility and flexibility, and enable Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) of business-critical applications.

Strategy

The Modern Systems strategy eliminates the risks of migration, shortens the timeline for modernization, lowers the cost of conversion and replatforming, and makes mainframe portfolio optimization a feasible endeavor. Modern Systems also minimizes manual intervention during the modernization process while maximizing the resulting applications' performance, ease of enhancement, and extensibility.

Methodology

Modern Systems uses our own powerful technology to completely automate the assessment process and conversion of databases, data, and applications. In addition, Modern Systems' legacy modernization endeavors are expertly defined and meticulously managed throughout the project life cycle.

Process

The Modern Systems legacy modernization process involves five key phases overseen by a dedicated Project Management Team: Assessment, Database and Data Conversion, Application Conversion, Testing, Deployment and Post-Implementation Support.
