OUR SOLUTIONS

    Application Consolidation

    Companies are rapidly consolidating their technology stacks to maximise 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, optimised 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.

    Data Replication

    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.

    Field Expansion

    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, standardised change tailored to your specific needs.
