New Release

CM evolveIT 11.6

Last week, we announced the release of CM evolveIT 11.6 with brand-new automated COBOL to Java conversion functionality. Until today, CM evolveIT has been first and foremost an analysis tool that provides you with deep, insightful, and actionable data.


This update gives CM evolveIT powerful code transformation powers with the ability to convert legacy code to Java.


To learn more get in touch.


If you happen to be attending the October Common Navigate 2023 conference, look for us at our tabletop booth, and we can show you how it works.


To get a sneak preview, watch Kiyoshi Terasawa of CM First Group demonstrate CM evolveIT's ability to automatically translate both hand-coded and 2E-generated code directly to Java.

Heads Up

Choosing the Right Migration Strategy for Your Legacy Systems


“Modernize or die” isn’t just hyperbole anymore.


Getting started can be the most challenging step forward when facing the complexity of a typical legacy system.


Add to that the many stakeholders involved who may have diverse stakes in the outcome, and you’re faced with a potentially messy process. You need to plan and execute carefully.


This article explores the "big five" migration strategies and how CM evolveIT can help you choose the right strategy for your organization.

Webinar


Watch: Applying RPA to Software Testing


Robotic Process Automation’s (RPA) versatility allows it to be applied to a wide range of processes, enabling organizations to increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve accuracy by automating repetitive tasks using software “Bots”. Use cases range from data entry and report generation to HR and finance and admin automation.


In this technical session, we give you an overview of RPA, and dive into the ability of RPA to create a modern, data-driven automated testing environment that can be plugged into your CI/CD pipeline.


This webinar is relevant to you whether you use CA Plex, CA 2E, or other software development tools.
