Modernization

Legacy applications are not artifacts of history that are steadily fading into obscurity; they are alive and well and costing organizations untold millions in extra maintenance, staffing, service failures and inflexible functionality. Over 5 billion lines of new COBOL code are being written every year to maintain existing systems. Reasons why they have not been modernized include: fear of failure, imperfect technologies and ineffective migration methods to modernize mission-critical applications. MAKE’s modernization solution turns the tide and provides a reliable and cost-effective path for legacy modernization.
