Migration services from Sogeti, based on IBM technologies.

 
     
  A comprehensive offering to update the underlying technologies
of functional legacy applications
 
     
  Conventional IT wisdom says, when an application is functioning perfectly, don’t mess with it. That’s how enterprises can end up with applications that hum along unchanged for years—even decades.
Although dependable performance can be appreciated, legacy applications often limit what can be done with data. Older applications may not be scalable or lend themselves to Web-based delivery. And, as programming languages, database technologies and hardware platforms become obsolete, updating and maintaining applications can be costly, and finding qualified support can be difficult.
 
     
  To replace outmoded applications, many organizations turn to enterprise application packages (especially if business processes need updating), or they rebuild the application on modern
platforms. Both approaches can be costly, require considerable resources and introduce the risk of failure.
 
     
  Migration services from Sogeti, based on IBM technologies, afford a compelling third option—updating the application by automating migration of its underlying obsolete technologies to relational technologies such as IBM DB2® information management software
and IBM WebSphere® software. Modernizing with IBM technologies that employ open industry standards allows basic functionality to remain, while adding new capabilities for data access, performance and sharing of data with other applications.
 
     
 
Sogeti migration services are enabled
by a process used successfully in
hundreds of deployments for companies worldwide—Application
Renovation Methodology. Together
with Sogeti’s project management
expertise and supported by IBM
technologies, this methodology helps
to ensure your migration project can
meet business objectives.

Each automated migration project
begins with a strategy component that
discovers the accepted benchmark of
functionality for the existing application
or applications, takes into account
any additional functionality required,
builds new application architectures
and establishes technical, logistical and
resource steps for the implementation.
  Highlights  

Integrates world-class Sogeti services and tools and IBM technologies to modernize enterprise IT environments

 
Improves access to data created by legacy applications  
Increases the functionality, flexibility and security of applications while reducing costs required to manage them  
Decreases dependence on obsolete technologies, programming languages and databases  
     
 
  In the testing that follows, migration experts copy the application from its production environment, rebuild it on the relational technologies and test the results. In the project execution phase, the production applications are renovated to the new platform, tested and validated for benchmark functionality and introduced to the production environment.  
     
  New life into old applications  
  Migration from obscure and obsolete technologies—such as Unisys Mapper technology—to IBM database and application development technologies can help your business get more information from applications and extend them to more users. You can simplify your IT infrastructure and refocus your IT staff on newer technologies, potentially saving costs of both application support and existing database licenses.
