COBOL: Migration, Modernization or Maintenance

Wherever you want to go,  ESI will get you there!

Legacy System Migration 

If you have a critical system that you'd like to convert away from Unisys mainframe technology, or even from COBOL to another language, we can help.

  • Using the best-in-class 100% automated migration tools, such as MSS' migrate!COBOL, we provide the fastest and safest transition to Windows or Linux for your critical COBOL systems.
  • By using migrate!COBOL to move to Open System or other proprietary COBOL, you will be able to upgrade and enhance your systems to meet your needs more easily, taking advantage of Open Systems and modern technology.

    Significant time and cost savings can be achieved by using migrate!COBOL. Not only is the code conversion accomplished in days, not months, but also the verification and testing phases are significantly shortened by using automated file and database comparisons. Project timescales are considerably shortened.     More...

  • migrateLINC! from MSS produces the highest quality results for the lowest price available with the freedom to run with whatever hardware or software best suits your business.
  • If your organization needs to move from proprietary LINC 4GL applications to an Open System 4GL, then migrate!LINC offers the best, most cost-effective route for your migration. By using migrate!LINC to modernize with leading edge technology, you will be able to upgrade and enhance your systems to meet your expanding needs more easily, taking advantage of Open Systems and modern technology.   More...

Application and Database Modernization

If you'd like to extend your legacy system by modernizing the technology that it uses, we can assist you.

  • Renovate your application's user interface while keeping your key business logic intact. With tools like Mpact and COBOL-IT, you can breathe new life into COBOL apps.
  • If you have systems that are a) critical and b) written to support outdated user interface methods, you have options. We can put the right combination of technologies in your hand that will preserve the core business logic but allow you to build a Windows or browser-based UI to meet your overall technology vision.      More...

  • Move to a database which allows you to integrate your data, share it the way you'd like and use current reporting technology.
  • Do you have critical data that's very hard to get to and use? We can help you. With the combination of migration automation and our vast knowledge of database fundamentals, we can put that key information back in your hands where it should be! More...

Maintenance of your legacy code base

If you have key code changes or just basic upkeep to be done on your legacy system, we can do it for you and keep your costs and risk in control. Focus on your evolving technology initiatives and let us keep these older apps in shape.

Our legacy experts have an average of more than 30 years of experience in supporting, maintaining and enhancing critical inheritance systems.
