Analyze Code 10x Faster
We spend a good chunk of the year adapting CM evolveIT to the evolving realities of managing and analyzing large scale systems. This year was no different, and judging by what we learned from the community at the October conference, next year is going to bring us even more change with the growth of web services and the move to cloud computing.

To help you manage that growth, we offer the "Advanced 2E Static Impact Analysis" workshop, featuring CM evolveIT's agility and speed, highlighted and linked below.

If you weren't able to make the conference, or need a refresh, most of the conference videos and presentation materials are still available on the plex2e.com website.

Until next year...

- Happy Holidays!
Heads Up
Apache Log4j Utility Vulnerability
On December 10th, NIST disclosed a vulnerability in versions of Apache's Log4j utility, published here.

Security is our highest priority, so we comprehensively investigated our own portfolio of applications and their dependencies right away. We sent an email to our list, and published our own statement here.

Helpfully, Broadcom posted a landing page for all its products to help you stay informed. Solutions, workarounds, and knowledgebase articles for affected products will be provided as they are approved by each product team, so check in often, as needed.

CA 2E CA Plex Worldwide Conference 
Watch: Analyze Code 10 Times Faster with Advanced CA 2E Static Impact Analysis
As more organizations look to expose CA 2E business logic via web services, and move legacy workload to the AWS and Azure cloud, the need for large scale automated impact analysis and refactoring is rapidly increasing. 

In this workshop, we use the new CA 2E model API and CM evolveIT to analyze a CA 2E model and extract useful information on business rules and other facts from the model. You will leave with an understanding of how to analyze code 10 times faster than using built-in CA 2E impact analysis.

CM evolveIT Case Studies
No Longer "at Sea" with Modernization

Migrating off the mainframe has to be done right. For a leading ocean transportation company and an expert in maritime logistics and planning, time was short, resources limited, and success was crucial.

Addressing Goliath Application Modernization

A huge government agency was faced with the daunting task of modernizing an application with over 250 million lines of code built up over 40 years. CM evolveIT was a perfect fit for the task.

CM evolveIT Latest Version
CM evolveIT 11.3 Is Here.

Last supported is 10.6, with version 11.1 to be announced by mid-June.
