Secure Modernisation of Mainframe Applications

Comprehensive, automated, proven, and secure

Mainframe-based systems usually have a long history of development. They have been continuously expanded and improved. Exciting technologies have emerged, opening up new business opportunities or increasing the efficiency of corporate IT.

Due to the pressure to constantly meet new business requirements, there was rarely time to replace outdated technologies and they simply had to continue running in parallel.

A colorful zoo of mainframe technologies

In our analyses, we find a different combination of technologies for each client. Here is a sample of what we have encountered or processed in recent years.

At some point, the last knowledge holders will retire, maintaining legacy systems will be costly (if at all), and a strategic modernization must be addressed.

ITM specializes in automated software processing and has developed a complete suite of software processing products.

Our products cover the entire technology stack of the respective application landscape. This allows our customers to freely decide where their technological journey should take them. The products have been tested in numerous projects since 2014 and continuously expanded.


To securely enable this, we developed Njema, a system with which we can automatically analyze and functionally identical transform our clients‘ proprietary software. Njema therefore supports Assembler, CICS ML, Natural reporting mode, EasyTrieve, Earl, CobolRefactoring and much more, please contact us to discuss your project requirements. Don’t hesitate, we are also happy to take on “exotic” tasks.

The Assessment

Njema analyzes all software components of a system and their interactions — scheduling and job control, programs and copy books, databases and online systems, operating platforms and utilities, as well as the use of third-party software.

The Transformation

Njema contains an extensive repository of transformation rules. After the automated analysis, ITM assembles a transformation engine from existing and new project-specific rules, which translates millions of code lines into new languages within minutes or a few hours, adapts programs to new databases or OLTP systems, and much more.

The Njema Solution in Brief

Features and functionality of the product at a Glance is found here.

Lost Sourcecode?

During analysis, we sometimes discover that programs are being called for which the source code no longer exists. This problem is solved by our product Mutabor, which allows our experts to regenerate maintainable source code from the hexadecimal form of the code.

Projects

Njema has been used for assessment and transformation in many projects.

Confidentiality

All examples shown always use fictitious test data, as we never disclose customer data.

We also ask for your understanding that we do not publish customer references: the results of our work are, for good reason, never accessible to third parties.
