A northern California county has reduced annual costs by 30 percent and enhanced IT efficiency by moving its COBOL-based Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) from the mainframe to open systems using Clerity mainframe migration services, software and tools
Business Drivers: The county’s CJIS had resided on the mainframe since 1991. It was the largest application still running on the county’s legacy system. The county sought new options for the CJIS so it could retire the mainframe complex.
Solution: UniKix Mainframe Rehosting software and automated conversion tools were used to migrate the county's online and batch applications off the mainframe. CA Datacom was moved to a relational Oracle database and COBOL program code was rehosted to open systems, while core business logic was kept intact.
