The core strategy to do exactly what developers want to do with legacy applications


 

Platform support for Windows, UNIX or Linux
The first step in the process is generally to rehost applications to a more modern platform. INFINITE includes a powerful group of programs that provides an operating environment for execution of legacy code currently hosted on midrange or mainframe systems. Simply moving host can result in significant savings in direct and indirect costs.

Modernizing the UI Level
Under current configurations, system clients are typically terminals or PCs with emulation software to overcome the disparate platform architecture. Moreover, remote offices frequently require specialty communications software. The Infinite toolset has eliminated these barriers. Users sign on to a portal and follow links to use applications and view reports. Legacy applications are now represented in a browser and workflow is streamlined. All enterprise applications can be managed by a common user interface. Hard-coded interfaces are replaced with web services using SOA methodology. External interfaces which require substantial maintenance can instead share a common format -- XML
 
Standardizing the database level
Typically companies have acquired database technology as companions along with purchased applications. Legacy database structures are typically closed, less flexible and pose serious data integration issues. The INFINITE tools allow legacy code to utilize Oracle or SQL so that all applications utilize the same data set. The BI toolset can replace many currently distributed reports. Key Performance Indicators (KPI) can be fed directly to the portal pages. Others can be delivered on demand via a web link. More complex reports can be reduced to charts for easier assimilation. Infinite BI tools also have vast capabilities to analyze current performance and project forward. The potential savings in eliminating report circulation can be significant to your bottom line. The enhanced visibility exposes opportunities that can drive revenue.
