High Mainframe Cost

Poor Mainframe Value

• In the competitive environment, survival depends on being cost efficient

Mainframe Inflexibility

• Mainframes do not provide the flexibility needed to meet market demands

Poor Mainframe Supportability

• Fewer vendors, products for mainframe

• Deficiency in mainframe skilled professionals

Mainframe roadmap risks losing valuable legacy

• Porting COBOLs to Java on mainframe (UNIX) will not solve the problems in many cases

Advancement of Technology

• High end PC class / Midrange servers with latest Windows/UNIX outperform mainframe

Why Migrate from Mainframe 5.

What Best to Migrate

• Applications requiring Flexibility & Supportability

Example: Print Industry applications, ERP Systems

Windows has a large number of vendors and supportingproducts to choose from, whereas in Mainframe the list is limited

What not to Migrate

• Highly secure and sensitive data such as finance / military data requiring B1 level security

What to Lookout for

• Latest Technologies (Both Hardware & Software)

• Success / Failure Stories, Reliable Resources for Guidance

• OptionsAssessmentDecisionVendor selection

Dos & Don'ts in Migration 6.

Point of Inflection

• M&A activity

• Changes in regulatory environment

• Vendor support discontinued

• Launching new products and services

Business Pressures

• Current IT not able to meet growth

• Shrinking mainframe labor pool

• High turn around time to implement changes

Cost Reductions

• IT budget cuts announced

• High maintenance costs of legacy systems

• Renewal of lease is coming up

• Expansion plans around infrastructure

Macrosoft can support in all phases beginningfrom assessment (Diagnostic - roadmap definition) and solution definition.We have proven tools & methodologies for all these phases.

When to Think of Migration 7.

Lift and Shift - The best option

Legacy Modernization / Transformation

Eg: Convert COBOL's to JAVA on mainframe UNIX

Limitations of flexibility & supportability remains

Replace with Packaged Applications

Eg:ERP systems

Workflow dictated by the package's functionality

Much business intelligence is lost

Rip and Replace

Not recommended due to the time, cost & risk involved

75% of such projects fails

Migration Options 8.

Ecosystem analysis

• Identify which applications are good candidates for moving off the mainframe

TCO and ROI analysis

• Total Cost of Ownership &Return on Investment from a migration

Risk analysis

• Review the current environment and IT deployment plans and assess the risk of each scenario

Migration planning

• Migration planning and scheduling is possibly the most critical element

Infrastructure and application design

• Design both the target environment and the application architecture

• Reverse / Forward engineering

Database, custom code & screen migration

• MVS Change Management

System monitoring, management, and support

• Performance Tuning, Security Audits

Process Steps[ Assess Transform Manage ] 9.

COBOLS

• Recompile COBOL's in target environments

• 99% COBOL reuse

• We have the know-howand tools for direct transformation of COBOL's

• The target executables are .NET applications, DLLs and EXEs (with XML support)

JCLs

• Use KornShell Scripts as Job control language (Batch Processing retained)

• All features of JCLs (eg: RESTART facility ) retained

• We have standard tools for direct conversion of JCLs to Shell Scripts

VSAM / EBCDIC Data

• Convert to ISAM / ASCII data

• Our tools understand both formats, and transparently convert

DB2 / IMS DB / IDMS / ADABAS

• We have standardized migration strategy, processes and tools for database schema and data migration to various RDBMs such as SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 UDB, etc. Automated tools for data extraction, cleanup and format conversion helps to save much time. The migration workbench helps in validating the migration process, including access privileges and performance optimization.

How Macrosoft Lifts & Shifts Applications 10.

CICS

• Windows path

• Microfocus Enterprise Server with Mainframe Transaction Option

• [Provides run-time environment for CICS COBOL applications ]

• UNIX Path

• SUN MTP and similar tools

• Custom Path

• Java, XML, .NET

MQ Series Messaging & Queuing

• IBM MQ SDK (Software Development Kit) provides all necessary support for migration / development in various platforms

IBM & Third Party Utilities

• Example: Quikjob, FileAid, IEBGENER, IDCAMS, etc.

• Automated tools (source code generators) to replace standard IBM utilities with Perl Scripts, COBOL's or C

Third Party Tools

Example:SyncSort, Transformer, Anchor, Dialogue, EZ-Letter, etc.

We have partnership with many of the third party tool vendors, who provided know-how on directly transforming to Windows version of their mainframe tools
