Platform Modernization

How Can Your Business be More Agile?

What is involved in legacy modernization? How can your company benefit? Speedware takes the mystery out of legacy modernization and shows you the many ways that you can reduce costs, increase functionality and protect your investments, including:

System conversion to modern platforms: Speedware helps companies replace old hardware platforms with modern infrastructures and operating systems that are easier to maintain and more flexible. Our solutions provide opportunities for growth, better scalability and consolidation of multiple applications onto fewer systems.

Software rationalization on the same platform: Speedware offers modernization solutions for companies with proprietary infrastructure software or development tools that are high in cost or simply non-strategic. Software rationalization is an approach used to replace proprietary software with standard software on the same platform.

Graphical user interface enhancements: Speedware can modernize the "green-screens" of legacy applications with graphical user interfaces that refresh the look and feel of the applications. Speedware's solutions can provide browser access and improve application navigation while increasing user productivity.

Data migration and database optimization: The migration of legacy databases and files to relational database systems can be challenging and time-consuming when done manually. Speedware provides automated tools that reduce time, effort and risk, resulting in optimized database systems with enhanced performance.

Integration with third-party software: Speedware's modernization solutions address the entire application environment including the third-party utilities that form the supporting infrastructure. The best modernization option for each utility is identified, whether it be migration or replacement.

Modernization of batch and printing environments: Speedware can help your company move from proprietary batch scheduling and printing environments, to modern solutions that encompass multi-platform job scheduling technologies, advanced printing and distribution capabilities, etc.

Application consolidation: Speedware offers a modernization approach that consolidates applications running on a variety of platforms. This may be done by migrating applications from non-strategic platforms in order to reduce costs or comply with approved IT infrastructure. Other methods include merging the functionalities of multiple applications that perform comparable business functions.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and web service concepts: Speedware’s SOA solutions increase an organization’s flexibility and responsiveness, and promote a service-oriented architecture by using industry-standard methods and technologies to help identify, package and reutilize key application components across the organization.

Regulatory compliance: To remain agile, organizations must be able to modify their business process to align with new governmental regulations or changing industry standards. Speedware's modernization solutions ensure that business processes are flexible enough to respond rapidly to these changing requirements.
