Migrate from ICL VME

For various corporate reasons, including the desire to only support a single operating system, for better application integration or to reduce running costs, many IT departments are considering ways of replacing their ICL VME environment with a modern open systems platform. Transoft are leaders in ICL VME Modernization.

Transoft provides an automated tools-based migration approach that rapidly transforms your entire ICL VME application to run natively on platforms including Unix, Linux and Windows. This is done with minimal risk and at a fraction of the cost of redeveloping or buying a package.

Transoft named "Champion" in Info-Tech's
Legacy Migration Vendor Landscape.

"We selected Transoft because we believed it had the tools and people to get the job done at the right price."

The Automated Approach

• Various options are provided to replace the TPMS TP monitor
• You can choose to keep a character-based user interface
• Or you can put a 'true' GUI or browser-based interface on your application
• Your data is converted from IDMS-X to an industry leading relational database, such
  as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server and accessed via generated SQL I/O modules
• Your COBOL application code is converted to be compliant with an open systems
  ANSI standard compiler
• Your Application Master code is also converted to well structured and maintainable
  COBOL
•  A comprehensive open systems-based library provides the equivalent functionality
  of the ICL9 system calls
•  Your SCL is either interpreted or converted and your existing job scheduler replaced by Transoft U/Qube, queue and print manager, or scripts.

Your first priority is likely to be to move your applications to open systems, but with Transoft you also get the chance to improve the functionality as well, without adding risk and cost to the project.

Transoft provides the tools, Professional Services and proven methodologies to make your project a success.
