We discuss best practices, our approach, services, solutions and customer success stories for helping enterprises modernize their legacy systems as part of their digital transformation plans. With over 500 successful modernization projects performed across the globe, and nearly 2.5 billion lines of code processed through our tools, Advanced is a leading provider of legacy modernization solutions across Mainframe, OpenVMS, and VME environments.

A recent survey of Fortune 500 companies revealed that 75% of respondents are concerned about having access to the IT talent capable of properly maintaining legacy systems. To make matters worse, 49% indicate they have seen a rapid decline in mainframe-capable skills within the past 12 months. 

Organizations whose business-critical systems rely on IDMS and its ecosystem are feeling the squeeze more than most. Rising licensing costs and a decreasing talent pool have exposed many to unbearable risk and burden. As such, it's no surprise that IDMS modernization is a hot topic, and decision-makers are seeking guidance on how to extricate themselves from this legacy conundrum. 

Join us as our panel of IDMS modernization experts discusses the good, the bad, and the ugly of their many decades of success working with firms around the globe to liberate legacy IDMS. This is one conversation you don’t want to miss.

Liberate legacy IDMS for greater mainframe success

Rising licensing costs and a shrinking talent pool are driving organizations to seek alternatives to Natural and Adabas. These legacy applications can prove difficult to unmoor from the mainframe due to their bespoke nature, age, and complexity. Fortunately, we offer solutions that ease and automate the modernization process while providing you with a myriad of options for your target state. 

This roundtable, which features experts with decades of Natural and Adabas modernization experience, will help you understand what to consider when you're mapping a migration path, common mistakes and how to avoid them, and insight into what to expect along your journey.

How to chart your migration path from Natural or Adabas

CA Gen applications are typically a considerable size and accumulate complex business logic. To complicate matters, the COBOL it generates is impossible to maintain natively, meaning many organizations feel trapped into retaining CA Gen just to keep their systems operational. With rising licensing fees and a disappearing talent pool, CA Gen is seen by many as a ticking time bomb of risk. 

Luckily, there are viable CA Gen modernization options out there, you just need to know where to look and who to trust. In this roundtable, domain experts will discuss the business challenges, processes, and the best low cost/low risk solutions for modernizing CA Gen applications.

Evolve your CA Gen apps with low-risk modernization

We recently surveyed hundreds of IT leaders around the globe about their mainframe modernization strategies. Then, we published our Mainframe Modernization Business Barometer Report which summarized our findings. Shockingly, 85% of participants told us that they are planning a modernization project or have completed one recently. 

Join our roundtable of experts as they discuss the Mainframe Modernization survey results and provide insights and commentary backed by decades of experience.

Roundtable: The Mainframe Modernization Business Barometer Report

Intro for our new guide - The Modernization Secrets of the Fortune 1000

Modernization secrets from the Fortune 1000

Global enterprises are modernizing legacy workloads and migrating to the Cloud at a feverish pace. According to the 2021 Mainframe Modernization Business Barometer Report - the second of its kind from Advanced - 87% of respondents planned to modernize their mainframes in the next 12-24 months, with the vast majority targeting the cloud as a destination.

While the pandemic certainly accelerated this great migration, there's much more to this rapidly evolving IT landscape than meets the eye.

Live Discussion: The 2021 Mainframe Modernization Business Barometer Report

In this session, we chat with Mark Bell - Deputy Director within the Digital Group at the UK’s Department for Work and Pensions. The largest public service Government department in the UK, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), successfully moved their entire application estate off the mainframe to a modern, open systems platform with Advanced. The 11 applications support DWP’s benefit paying systems, which are fundamental to paying out £150 billion a year, to more than 15 million UK citizens.

By watching this session you will learn about COBOL modernization options, including how Automated Refactoring with Advanced provides a turnkey solution to migrate to object-oriented Java or C#, and delivers a modern application stack to enable you to maximize the value of your Cloud investment.

COBOL and the Cloud: What You Should Know

In this webinar co-hosted with Microsoft, we highlight the business challenges, processes and the low cost/low risk solutions for moving CA Gen application workloads to Azure Cloud. CA Gen Modernization can provide many results including removing CA Gen licensing costs, and exposing business critical applications to modern development practices in a modern DevOps-centric environment.

CA Gen Migration: When CA Gen isn't COOL Anymore

It's no secret that modernizing legacy systems, particularly the mainframe, will result in enormous staffing and infrastructure cost savings. However, this assurance often overshadows the efficiency and productivity gains that can be achieved through automation when business logic and data transitions from a closed system to an open one. Join this session to learn how Advanced’s customers have leveraged post-modernization automation as a force multiplier, resulting in faster ROI and simpler innovation.

Your Salvation is Automation: Leverage Post-Modernization Automation

Testing can amount for more than 50% of an entire modernization project. Join this session to learn how Advanced's fully-featured Automated Testing solution, designed specifically for mainframe modernisation, eliminates manual test case creation while significantly reducing resource demand, project timelines, and risk.

Testing 1, 2, 3: Eliminate Manual Test Case Creation

During this session we highlight the reality for organizations with complex, hybrid IT landscapes, and share insight into how to migrate from mainframe to Cloud while retaining your existing codebase.

Rehosting Mainframe Applications

Know the details, reduce the risk. During this session, we talk about the advantages of mainframe assessments as a first step towards legacy modernization, and share a breakdown of our own Automated Assessment service.

Why Mainframe Assessments are an Essential Foundation for Modernization

During this short webinar, we discuss why legacy asset archival is important. As an example, we use an ERP deployment - where organisations are looking to move monolithic applications to Cloud environments or microservices architecture.

Archiving Legacy Assets

By joining this webinar you will discover how to retain Natural Syntax, eliminate the mainframe, and chart a course for cloud readiness. You will also learn how rehosting provides organizations with a path to easily migrate from Natural to object-oriented languages, such as Java and C#, at their leisure.
