Modernisation, or transformation, is the activity of simplifying, opening and exploiting proven application portfolios so their functionality can be re-used and re-purposed to meet new business demands.
Facet’s automated modernisation tooling can accelerate delivering these business demands, through simplifying complex code bases, and consolidating data platforms to achieve actionable stable re-use to support tomorrow’s needs.
Pragmatic action
Facet use automated tooling to analyse your existing COBOL codebases and provide visual and data-driven insights into structure and complexity. This helps you know where to start, where to stride boldly, and where to pay extra attention. That initial automated analysis helps anyone not familiar with the codebase, understand it’s current complexity, cohesion and coupling. VSAM can be migrated into DB2, and all consuming COBOL programs that use the VSAM switch to use DB2. Old DELTA COBOL applications can be automatically refactored to maintainable standard IBM COBOL, removing the reliance on the original generators and skillsets.
- Provide objective and visual analysis of existing complex COBOL codebases
- Migrate VSAM to DB2 and automatically refactor the applications that use VSAM
- Refactor generated DELTA COBOL applications into standard maintainable COBOL
