Do you want to leverage more of your core functionality? Do you need to respond to fast changing business requirements?Legacy modernization is an essential strategy for creating an agile enterprise. To remain competitive in the marketplace, it is critical that applications be customer centric and agile so they may respond quickly to market, customer, and business demands. Although organizations who build applications with CA Gen have a distinct advantage because of its' multi-platform capabilities, this doesn't exclude these applications from the challenges of legacy modernization. The user interfaces and the code structure of our legacy Gen applications still require attention in order to prepare them for new platforms. Organizations are continually under pressure to reduce costs and improve performance, making them increasingly reluctant to pay for modernization projects that do nothing more than simply migrate the application to the web. This short-sided modernization approach adds little business value and costs precious time, money and resources that could otherwise be spent on business priorities. Not only are CA Gen development teams being asked to modernize their legacy applications with more sophisticated and productive web interfaces, but business users are demanding more agility and flexibility from their applications than ever before in order to help them stay competitive and adapt to constant change. It's easy to recognize the tremendous business value locked in these enterprise systems, thus any modernization approach must recognize and fully leverage that value. QAT has a deep understanding of the issues organizations face with their legacy systems and offers a unique approach to modernization that helps IT and the business to close the gap between what the business needs and what IT delivers. QAT Genesis – The Art of Legacy ModernizationQAT Genesis is a software and services approach to modernize, integrate and/or enhance CA Gen applications. QAT Genesis does this by incrementally transforming the applications into modern web applications that provide high business value features to the organization with less risk, time and total cost of ownership (TCO). QAT Genesis uses automation in order to rapidly modernize legacy applications and, at the same time, add new high value business features that enable the business to realize significant returns from the modernization. The business will have the control to manage changes in their work process without sending every change back through the traditional development cycle. IT will be more aligned with the needs of the business and will have the tools to rapidly deliver what the business needs. Reducing risk to the business is a major benefit of QAT Genesis. Risk is reduced in three ways. First, it provides modernization in short-term increments, with each increment being delivered as a portion of a complete solution making it possible to pause if the budget is under pressure. Second, it enables the business with the technology to provide for itself rather than locking it into a long term consulting engagement. Lastly, it allows the most appropriate technology to be integrated into the application based on both the skills of the development group and the capabilities of the various technologies. For example, CA Gen is outstanding in many ways, but it isn't always the best tool to use in every case. QAT Genesis offers the freedom to integrate other technology as needed in order to minimize the technical risk and maximize flexibility. QAT Genesis is an art because each modernization is unique and there is no magic formula. The best results come with experience in applying the right balance of tools and techniques. Most importantly, QAT Genesis delivers true modernization on a realistic budget so you can accomplish your legacy modernization goals.

Modernization ResultsThe QAT Genesis modernization process results in applications that have not only been modernized in the traditional sense, but also made more open, functional and agile at the same time. Business and IT are more aligned and far more productive as a team by allowing the business to control the work processes and IT to control the database and system integration. The introduction of business process automation within the legacy modernization is a powerful solution that gives the business users new flexibility to enhance and change their application without relying on IT for every change. The modernized application suddenly becomes more flexible for the business and the cost of each part of the application are more aligned with the business benefits they provide.

What is a Legacy System?A legacy system is an old application program, technology, method, or computer system that continues to be used even though newer technology or more efficient methods of performing a task are now available. This is typically done because it still functions for the users' needs and because of the cost of replacing or redesigning it is significant. The general implication is that the system is large and monolithic . What is Legacy Modernization?Legacy Modernization is the conversion, rewriting ,or porting of a legacy system to a modern application platform. |
