Your application portfolio is a critical business asset, but your operational costs are increasing as a percentage of total IT budget each year. Current data shows that >80% of IT budgets are allocated to operations/maintenance of existing applications. But in the current economy, application owners/managers are under increasing pressure to improve service levels despite decreasing budgets. The only way to solve this dilemma is to significantly reduce your application maintenance costs quickly.
MAKE Technologies Inc., a leader in legacy application extraction, analysis and transformation launched TLM:CORE, an integrated Web 2.0 platform designed to reduce maintenance costs by providing an online repository of business processes, annotated code, data structures, and their interrelationships, that can be quickly interrogated by maintenance staff. TLM:CORE provides the application intelligence necessary to develop focused and cost-effective strategies for defect resolution and the delivery of new business value. It works with any mix of languages, on any mix of platforms, to turn poorly understood/documented applications into transparent, visible and connected assets.
Please join MAKE Technologies for this webinar to learn how to reduce your TCO in 7 weeks.

In these tough economic times organizations are facing new challenges. They are faced with new pressures to further streamline IT budgets, justify IT spending and yet still increase service delivery and efficiency to their businesses, customers, and citizens.
Legacy systems are emerging as significant financial, operational and technical challenges in delivering services and conducting day-to-day business. Although organizations have advanced their IT environment with investments in new technologies, flexible programming and a portfolio of online services, most still live with substantial amounts of costly legacy.
Please join MAKE Technologies, Oracle Corporation and Infinite Systems for this educational event to learn how to reduce your legacy system TCO.
What’s it about?
- How to successfully analyze your legacy systems and extract critical assets to reduce the cost of both maintenance and modernization.
- What are the root causes of failure in legacy modernization/COTS replacement projects & how to avoid them.
- Case Study of a successful modernization project/facts and figures from real world legacy modernization projects.
- Advice on what steps should be taken to manage the lifecycle of mission critical applications.
- How the MAKE approach maximizes the use of Oracle’s platform & applications to provide the best modernization solution that reduces cost, risk, and time while increases organizational agility.
Who should attend?
CIOs, Deputy CIO, IT managers, Quality Control Managers, Auditors and anyone responsible for ensuring the efficiency and integrity of a mission critical legacy system.
Why should I attend?
Learn how you can reduce the your legacy systems TCO, reduce the cost and risk of legacy modernization and ensure an effective transformation of legacy assets to reduce legacy systems dependence
What do I have to do?

MAKE Technologies Inc., an industry leader in semantic modernization, is pleased to announce the launch of TLM: CORE, an integrated Web 2.0 platform designed to reduce maintenance costs by providing an online repository of business processes, annotated code, data structures, and their interrelationships, that can be quickly interrogated by maintenance staff. TLM: CORE provides the application intelligence necessary to develop focused and cost-effective strategies for defect resolution and the delivery of new business value.

In support of this announcement, MAKE is hosting a live webinar, ‘Reduce your TCO in 7 weeks’, on Thursday May 28th. Duration 60 Min.

”Turning Legacy Liabilities into Assets.”
MAKE Technologies, a leader in application analysis and legacy modernization, today announced TLM:CORE for Application Intelligence, a solution to reduce the cost and increase the business value of application maintenance.
TLM:CORE uses MAKE’s fit-for-purpose toolkit for application analysis to build an interactive Web 2.0 repository of any application. The TLM:CORE toolkit is completely language agnostic, and can identify and expose dependencies and hidden facts in systems that span languages, databases and even platforms. The TLM:CORE toolkit centers around MAKE’s CORE Repository, which provides an integrated, 360º view of an application. Analysts can visually navigate associations and dependencies among business processes, code programs and data elements of any application.
Please join us for the launch of TLM:CORE for Application Intelligence and learn on how to turn your legacy liabilities into assets. Duration 60 Min.

”An Intelligent Investment in today’s crisis for tomorrow’s citizen.”
Given the impacts of the current financial crisis, concerned politicians across the globe are contemplating increased funding for infrastructure as a means to stimulate economies. According to the recent stimulus bill, public sector infrastructures include computers, networks, applications and cyber-security.
Most of the mission-critical information processing systems deployed in the public-sector are over twenty years old. These systems have become obsolete, archaic and are costly to operate (on average 75% of your IT budget). The inflexibility of these systems is preventing government from quickly and cost-effectively providing the services that are being demanded.
The exposure and risk of inoperative or un-secure systems is growing every day.
An investment in IT infrastructure, particularly the replacement and retirement of legacy systems, would:
- Prevent and avoid operational and security risk of critical systems like motor vehicles, health, vital statistics, social services and justice.
- Significantly reduce the operational expenses, up to 75%, of old and antiquated technology.
- Employ the contemporary IT skills that are available and/or entering the market, replacing the legacy skills that are becoming scarce and will soon be obsolete.
- Provide agile, globally competitive, systems that can adapt quickly and cost-effectively to new program priorities and legislative changes, necessary for modern and responsive government.
- Provide local jobs in the short term for modernization projects.
- Train a work force with high-value skills that will be in demand in both the public and private sectors once the economy is back on track.
MAKE Technologies is pleased to invite you or your staff to attend a Webinar to learn more about how State Governments have successfully modernized critical legacy systems and achieved the results mentioned above. It will be worth the 30 minutes you should allow. Please join my colleagues and I for this refreshing and positive message on how to properly use infrastructure spending as an investment in the future as well as a vehicle for economic recovery.
Sincerely

Please join MAKE Technologies and Oracle for a briefing to discuss the issues surrounding modernization for government. MAKE Technologies and Oracle have joined forces to provide an approach to modernization that preserves current business content. At the same time it maximizes the use of modern technology to reduce cost and adopt a more agile and responsive service delivery model.
Public sector IT organizations are looking to reduce total cost of ownership, keep up with increasing public and legislative demands for new services, and address the risks of aging systems and reliance on retiring personnel with legacy skill sets (60% of whom will retire over the next 5 years). Embarking on a Modernization program has many advantages, which include:
- Increased agility – Speed of developing and deploying of new services
- Lower costs – Modernization programs generally pay for themselves
- Reduced risks – From retiring skill sets, unsupported systems and compliance issues
