COBOL Migration Solutions

Partners 

In an effort to reduce the ongoing costs of existing CICS and batch applications, many organizations are implementing mainframe rehosting. Rehosting leverages the strength and investment of older COBOL applications while also taking advantage of new, cost-efficient hardware and open operating system environments. Linux, UNIX, WinTel, J2EE and .Net are becoming more robust - faster processors, parallel failover mechanisms, and the increasing stability of J2EE and .NET make this change more attractive than ever before. The new "free" open source technologies are showing the same improvements.

Automated Mainframe Rehosting and COBOL Migration to New Platforms

Through various automated migration tools, and working together with Partners, BluePhoenix offers COBOL migration and mainframe rehosting solutions for most situations. We can help your organization find the right solution for your particular configuration - we do not have a technological preference.

COBOL Migration with Micro Focus

BluePhoenix has partnered with Micro Focus in implementing their "Lift and Shift" strategy and is a member of the Migration and Transformation Consortium (MTC) for COBOL solutions. The MTC is a global coalition of companies that specialize in the renewal of COBOL applications through migration and transformation using a combination of tested tools and recognized expertise.

Our ability here is moving your COBOL application off the mainframe and running it in a UNIX or LINUX environment as Micro Focus COBOL.

Mainframe Rehosting with Clerity Solutions, Inc.

BluePhoenix has partnered with Clerity Solutions, Inc. (Clerity) to help companies rehost mainframe applications on more cost-efficient, open platforms. Clerity offers products, tools, and partnerships to provide these rehosting services to open systems.

BluePhoenix can assist you in migrating COBOL/CICS applications into Micro Focus COBOL or Acucobol using UniKix Mainframe Rehosting software from Clerity for managing CICS and batch/JCL applications. Minor differences between the source and target COBOL environments are changed automatically.

Mainframe and COBOL Migration with Fujitsu NetCOBOL

BluePhoenix has partnered with Fujitsu to help companies migrate COBOL/CICS applications into Fujitsu NetCOBOL and the Fujitsu NeoKicks and NeoBatch environments for handing CICS and batch/JCL. Minor differences between the source and target COBOL environments are changed automatically.
