How a European Government Agency successfully migrated away from CA Gen

A large government agency which employs over 1,000 employees within the Kingdom of Sweden is responsible for servicing millions of customers. The organisation’s core business applications, written in CA Gen in the 1990s, resided on a mainframe. They were facing mounting pressure to modernise due to exorbitant costs (particularly software licensing) and resource challenges stemming from a lack of available CA Gen developers. Ultimately, they chose to refactor their CA Gen applications to Java on Linux with Advanced’s Automated Refactoring solution.

The agency is extremely satisfied with the outcome of this modernisation project which allowed them to retire their mainframe, and eliminate the expense associated with the legacy infrastructure, operations, and software licensing.
