Mainframe Migration and Modernization Solutions

Whether your organization is looking to rehost applications and data assets open systems, implement a SOA or modernization initiative to create Web or composite business services, or rewrite applications to meet new business demands, Clerity provides the means to safely reduce costs, protect investments, and optimize data center resources. With a deep mainframe and open systems services bench and platform neutral approach, Clerity migrates and modernizes legacy workloads on a range of target platforms including UNIX, Linux, and Linux on System z (mainframe Linux).

If your applications and data assets are currently meeting business needs, but your organization is looking to quickly reduce cost or begin a phased modernization solution, mainframe rehosting solutions from Clerity may be the most appropriate path forward. Rehosting preserves valuable business logic and existing investments so you can maintain the enduser's front end experience while yielding cost savings of as much as 80%. Rehosting can either be a destination on its own and long-term solution for your organization, or it may be part of a larger, phased IT transformation project across your enterprise.

If you would like to provide new functionality without the risks involved with rewriting, reusing legacy assets through modernization and SOA enablement may be a good choice. With Clerity Service Builder and Clerity Web Connect, you can rapidly transform inflexible 'green screen' applications into modern, user-friendly Web applications while leaving underlying business logic and data processes unchanged and your existing staff can quickly assemble and deploy 3270-based transactions from UniKix TPE, mainframe based CICS and IMS, in addition to COMMAREA-based applications and native data Web services as multi-step, multi-operation composite business services.

Depending on the size and complexity of your legacy environment, redevelopment on a lower cost platform can also make sense. Specific languages like Assembler, Fortran, and certain 4GLs are typically rewritten during a move to open systems. A major redevelopment project generally involves designing a completely new system that utilizes a modern architecture to implement the business logic of the legacy mainframe application.
