Today’s IT environments need to be dynamic and flexible in order to conform rapidly to changing standards, ongoing regulatory changes, and new business requirements. Change comes quickly, often necessitating adaptations that need to be applied across multiple, interconnected systems. Due to the pervasiveness of such changes, some companies choose to “guess” at the impact, an inherently costly and risky choice.
BluePhoenix offers a cost-effective and time-saving option—a set of “enterprise IT remediation” solutions that enable companies to extend the life of their existing IT systems when faced with demands for enterprise-wide changes. Our integrated solutions help companies quickly and automatically implement complex, mission-critical system modifications.
These application remediation solutions are based on the ability to take a collection of field names based on explicit specifications or patterns and determine—via data flow analysis—all of the fields that are impacted by the fields selected. This analysis is extremely powerful and can analyze across programming concepts such as redefinitions, name changes caused by actual to formal parameter mapping in procedures and methods, and reading and writing of files.
Additionally, these solutions track all program changes as a “fix set,” allowing changes to be checked before implementation as well as allowing fixes to be reapplied to a refreshed code base containing ongoing development and maintenance changes, thus minimizing freeze time.e
