Legacy Application Migration
Free your minds... and race to the future
Enterprises that run their mission-critical applications on legacy platforms face the following key challenges:
 |
The need to lower the cost of maintenance for hardware as well as software applications
|
|
|
Lack of agility that hampers the ability to respond to changes in the business environment
|
|
|
Seamless integration with other internal applications as well as partner systems, in a connected world
|
|
|
Changes in the Vendor technology roadmap, that renders the current technologies obsolete & fails to protect investment
|
|
|
Shortage of mainframe professionals - skilled & experienced professionals & and availability of new-age applications
|
Sonata's legacy modernization services are geared precisely to address these omnipresent challenges. We offer clients multiple services aimed at platform migration, focusing on reducing the risk, cost and time involved in such migrations, such as:
|
|
Re-engineer : This involves a complete re-write of the legacy application (built using COBOL,CICS, DB2, Assembler and other mainframe programming environments) to new-age technologies like .Net or Java, helping our clients leverage new paradigms like SOA
|
|
|
Re-platform : which provides near-100% investment protection, by reusing the entire COBOL logic while rehosting the application onto a Windows or UNIX platform, using Micro Focus tools
|
|
|
Replace the legacy application using a software package
|
|
|
Rejuvenate : Retain the existing application while significantly enhancing its capabilities through Web-enablement, Web services based integration and better analytics
