MAKE Modernization reduces cost.
MAKE Modernization is the safest and most cost-effective way to modernize a legacy system:
» 30-50% less in cost and 2/3 the risk compared to traditional methods
» Our Fit-for-Purpose tools provide enhanced productivity and consistency
» End to end integration eliminates rework and inefficiencies
» Automation is used to reduce work effort
» We have the ability to modernize any legacy language, any data platform, and any combination.

The Three Phases of MAKE Modernization

  • Extract legacy assets and map them to their business use.

     

     

    Business Assets: Analysts capture actual use of the system on video
    and to document use cases and business processes in the TLM Repository.

     

     

    Mechanical Assets: Analysts parse source code and document batches,
    reports and key code components in the TLM Repository.

     

     

    Data Assets: Analysts model legacy data – databases, flat files, even Excel
    and Access files – to document semantics and hidden associations in the
    TLM Repository.

  • The team transforms legacy models from Extraction into engineering models for the modernized system.

     

    Streamline Workflows: Analysts work with the business to design modern workflows and screens that take advantage of the modern platform. Business experts collaborate with analysts in the TLM Repository

     

    Design and Architect: Architects and analysts find the best way to implement legacy business logic in the new platform, often eliminating unnecessary batch processing. Legacy code is referenced in the TLM Repository.

     

    Modernize Data: TLM Data utilized to incrementally improve the modernized domain model and transformation.

  • Agile development, continuous integration and fit-to-purpose testing reduce risk for a predictable, iterative software delivery.

     

    Verification: Business processes become integration tests in the TLM Repository, so analysts can verify that the modernized application doesn’t create unwanted business changes.

     

    Implement & Test: Developers leverage the TLM Repository, TLM Analyzer, and proven enterprise architecture. Testers use the legacy system to test the modern system with Differential System Testing.

     

    Data Transformation: Analysts use TLM Data to support development and testing with modernized data sets and refine the transformations for a flawless final migration.

  • The proof is in the business outcome. MAKE Modernization delivers business systems with the agility to serve for decades.

     

    Business processes remain intact, and the business has an immediate benefit from more usable software. The system can now be readily enhanced to support business process modernization, mergers and acquisitions or regulatory changes.

     

     

    MAKE modernized code is shipped with the project’s TLM Repository, and developers can maintain it with familiar off-the-net tools.

     

    Data is now in a unified object-relational domain model. It is accessible using common tools and ready for analysis in off-the-shelf business intelligence, data mining, and reporting tools.
