Heads Up

Eliminating Data Migration in Legacy Modernization


Organizations that collect and store data as a function of their operations may ultimately find it necessary to migrate their data in an effort to modernize. For long-established companies, that job can be complex, dirty, and take a very long time.


The good news: with the right approach, and the right variables in place, that big job of data migration can be eliminated entirely.

Heads Up

State of Java: Resilience amid licensing changes and security concerns


Azul has recently released its inaugural State of Java Survey & Report, offering a comprehensive analysis of the Java ecosystem and its impact on organizations of all sizes. This in-depth study, which collected feedback from more than 2,000 Java users globally, provides unprecedented insights into the current state of Java and is very much worth a read if Java is prevalent or on the table for your organization, particularly with a COBOL to Java conversion.

Webinar

Watch: "Automated Refactoring from Legacy Code to Maintainable Java"


Frightened about the prospect of your legacy IBM i and z application developers leaving due to retirement?


We have a solution that can put your fears to rest.


In this webinar, we explore the 5th "R" in Amazon's Cloud Migration Strategy in detail. With this strategy, you can "refactor" your legacy app developed in COBOL, RPG, or CA 2E (Synon) directly to maintainable runtime-free Java and JS.


We start with an overview of the refactoring process:

  • What is needed in upfront analysis

  • How to choose the right technology stack

  • Why AI is not currently the answer

  • Solutions to common challenges such as...

  • Avoiding vendor lock-in

  • Performance

We follow up with the grande finale: a technical demonstration of moving COBOL/DB2 code to a modern, maintainable Java/React/Postgres application running on Azure cloud.


Automated Refactoring from Legacy Code to Maintainable Java

Speakers: John Rhodes (CTO) and Kiyoshi Terasawa (Principal Architect)
