The Story

An American multinational financial services firm offers comprehensive investment and advisory services from individual investors to large corporations. In the company’s efforts to reduce costs, they looked to modernize a legacy transactional system written in COBOL that was running on IBM’s AS400 system. This COBOL to Java migration project required reverse-engineering of the COBOL application, optimization of the extracted meta-data, and then transformation of the optimized meta-data to Java and PL/SQL code using Oracle as a database. The client felt that the complete set of automated capabilities provided by Intellisys was the ideal solution to facilitate the migration while mitigating risks. 

Challenges

  • A need to reduce maintenance cost of running a legacy application
