Mainframe Transformation

Astadia provides organizations with a complete mainframe to cloud range of refactoring and replatforming solutions, automating the migration of mainframe-based applications to programming languages like Java or C# and to leading relational databases on AWS. Our process follows a comprehensive roadmap that entails:

• Assessing and analyzing your applications environment and IT requirements • Automatically transforming your mainframe applications and migrating to AWS

By using FastTrack, Astadia’s proven migration methodology, and the Astadia Migration Factory, a powerful software plaltform, enterprises and government agencies can reduce the duration of a typical mainframe migration project by as much as 90%.

Overview Organizations face critical decisions about how to align existing legacy systems with their growing distributed environments. The introduction of web, mobile, and lightweight development platforms has highlighted the growing gap between traditional legacy mainframe environments and the more modern, agile approaches available today. Several key issues compound this technology gap: • The mainframe platform is viewed as expensive to operate and maintain. • The resource pool for mainframe skills is viewed as dwindling or shrinking. • Organizations often lack a thorough understanding of their legacy systems. • Strategic decisions about legacy migration or modernization are often made without the necessary visibility into existing systems, making it impossible to evaluate costs, potential savings, time frames, and risk.
