Transoft Application Mining

IT management today is constantly facing the challenge of delivering more with less resource. At first sight this often seems impossible, but the Transoft Application Mining product set has a proven track record of assisting management achieve this goal. With it you can plan more effectively; increase productivity and quality; deliver more business benefits faster to user departments and business partners; and at the same time reduce costs.

It also empowers the individual IT professional - the systems architect, analyst or programmer - to achieve more, improve quality and beat deadlines - in both application maintenance and development.

Transoft's Application Mining Product Set

The core Transoft Application Mining product is Transoft evolveIT which is used by major blue chip organizations worldwide. It is a graphical Windows workbench and versions are available for the mining of applications written in a growing number of mainframe versions of COBOL. It can also be used in conjunction with the Transoft Application Migration, Modernization and Integration tools and services to provide a complete solution for the evolution of new applications from your existing ones throughout their entire lifecycle.

A key concern of both IT management and the IT professional is the ability to accurately establish the scope, timescale, cost and risk associated with any change to core applications for both routine maintenance and new developments. Transoft evolveIT gives them this information quickly and accurately because it uniquely combines a total model of the entire application and excellent graphical outputs - in addition to comprehensive reports. The IT professional can thus rapidly visualize and quantify the impact of any planned code changes and identify potential problems.

Another benefit is the totally automatic identification of potentially redundant code, the elimination of which reduces application maintenance costs and hardware resource requirements.

Management and individuals also both benefit from the much reduced learning curve required when switching to a different application. Management reduces non-productive costs and the individual gains flexibility and job satisfaction.
