Services

ioSemantics provides automation-leveraged professional services to assist you in the numerous, discrete tasks that are required during the lifecycle of legacy system maintenance and legacy modernization initiatives. With the help of the automation incorporated into our proprietary platform, you can analyze the business logic encoded into your legacy COBOL system without having to wrestle with the COBOL source directly. We create an interactive model that accurately depicts your business logic through graphic, hierarchical views of concepts, calculations, rules and data dependencies.

Our automated program analysis facilitates:

Understanding your legacy COBOL system is the first step
in any modernization initiative

Our automated program analysis is the foundation for ioSemantics’ range of legacy modernization project services. Our services fit your methodology, budget and timeline.

Here's how we customize our services to meet your Legacy System initiatives:

COTS Package Implementation
Our automated program analysis of your legacy COBOL system can be used to ensure functional coverage of the candidate package solutions.

Architecture Consolidation
A significant challenge to merged organizations is the consolidation of redundant systems. ioSemantics’ Platform can be used to help identify, extract and aggregate the best of each system.

Application Improvement/Refactoring
Our automated program analysis surfaces dominant business concepts to aid in reorganizing and refactoring legacy COBOL system source code, which can remain as COBOL or can be migrated into modern syntax languages such as Java.

Grid/SOA Migration
The advent of data and execution grid technologies by way of service-oriented architecture have made distributed technologies such as Java viable for large system replacement. By leveraging our semantic understanding of your legacy COBOL system, the necessary componentization of the explained system can be informed and automated based upon the strength of relationship between data elements and functionality in the system.

Areas where this would be helpful include:
  • Code refactoring
  • System module comparison
  • System module interaction
  • System coverage verification
  • Domain Model variability
  • Data dependency analysis
  • Data encoding
  • Dead code elimination
  • Redundant code consolidation
  • Business logic extraction
  • Test Case generation
