Why should we transform our computer systems?

The internet is the most powerful force in the business world today. Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Consumer (B2C) capabilities are no longer luxuries - they are survival requirements.

Most of the Information Technology infrastructure that drives modern business was developed pre-internet. These legacy systems need to be modernized quickly before your competition gains a significant business advantage.

Why should we adopt Java?

Again, the internet is the most powerful force in the business world today, and Java is the language of the internet. Java was developed with the internet in mind and offers a wider range of internet related capabilities than any other computer language or development methodology.

Most of the effort being put into tool development today is going into Java tool development. These new development tools and methodologies mean faster, lower cost future development and easier, lower cost current maintenance.

Well over half of all code being written today is being written in Java. This means there is an adept and growing pool of development talent. Competitive pressures will hold salaries down, resulting in lower Java maintenance and development costs. As the pool of legacy talent ages and thins, legacy maintenance and development costs will rise.

Why should we use an automated transformation service?

Information Technology departments often advocate rewriting existing legacy systems in Java and adding new functionality during the rewrite. While this sounds attractive, it is not feasible in today's technological environment. Technology is changing so rapidly that by the time most legacy systems can be rewritten they will be technologically obsolete. Instead of building on your prior software investment you will be writing it off.

It makes more sense to use an automated service to transform your existing systems. Then you can add new functionality to the system using enhanced Java tools. This allows you to build and increase the value of your prior software investment.

Using an automated transformation service is imperative in today's technological environment. A legacy system of any size can not be converted by hand in time to remain competitive. It just takes too long, and adding a large number of employees or consultants tends to take even longer. This is one of the most expensive and least efficient processes.

The use of an automated transformation service means that your critical programming resources will be free to work on improving your competitive position.

Why should we use Comptramatics' Legacy eTrans-Formation^TM Service?

A legacy transformation project is a complex undertaking. Comptramatics has wide experience with source code transformations. With the Legacy eTrans-Formation Service you can leverage this experience and do your legacy transformation project in an efficient, timely, and cost efficient manner.

The basic legacy source code transformation is billed by the line of legacy source code processed. You know what the source code transformation will cost before it begins. There will be no expensive cost increases or overruns.

The Legacy eTrans-Formation Service transforms all aspects of your legacy code. All functionality is preserved during the transformation process. This allows you to build on your previous software investment and increase its value.

The transformed system contains no 'black boxes' or hidden code. There are no continuing charges or license fees. This lowers current and future costs and allows you better control over your cost structure.

The Legacy eTrans-Formation Service produces Java code that is object oriented, well documented, and easy to maintain. This moves you to the forefront of technology and positions you to take advantage of new technological developments.
