Mainframe Migration

1. Mainframe Migration Macrosoft – Leaders in Mainframe Migration [ Lift & Shift *] “Lift & Shift” is a trademark of Microfocus

2. Macrosoft Inc. • Founded in 1993 by a team of AT&T executives, Macrosoft is a Global System Integration and IT Services firm • Privately owned with no venture capital, it has grown over the past decade by adding offices on the East Coast, West Coast and South Asia • Headquartered in Parsippany, NJ, with operations in both Northern and Southern CA, it has dedicated development centers in India, Pakistan and China • More than 12 yrs of successful engagements and a technical staff in excess of 180 professionals on projects at this time • As a true business partner – all of our original Fortune 100 customers have been with us for nearly a decade • Off-shore development centers at India, China & Pakistan We deliver on all commitments and provide quality service

4. Why Migrate from Mainframe • High Mainframe Cost • Poor Mainframe Value • In the competitive environment, survival depends on being cost efficient • Mainframe Inflexibility • Mainframes do not provide the flexibility needed to meet market demands • Poor Mainframe Supportability • Fewer vendors, products for mainframe • Deficiency in mainframe skilled professionals • Mainframe roadmap risks losing valuable legacy • Porting COBOLs to Java on mainframe (UNIX) will not solve the problems in many cases • Advancement of Technology • High end PC class / Midrange servers with latest Windows/UNIX out‑perform mainframe

5. Do’s & Don'ts in Migration • What Best to Migrate • Applications requiring Flexibility & Supportability Example: Print Industry applications, ERP Systems Windows has a large number of vendors and supporting products to choose from, whereas in Mainframe the list is limited • What not to Migrate • Highly secure and sensitive data such as finance / military data requiring B1 level security • What to Lookout for • Latest Technologies (Both Hardware & Software) • Success / Failure Stories, Reliable Resources for Guidance • Options  Assessment  Decision  Vendor selection

6. When to Think of Migration • Point of Inflection • M&A activity • Changes in regulatory environment • Vendor support discontinued • Launching new products and services • Business Pressures • Current IT not able to meet growth • Shrinking mainframe labor pool • High turn around time to implement changes • Cost Reductions • IT budget cuts announced • High maintenance costs of legacy systems • Renewal of lease is coming up • Expansion plans around infrastructure Macrosoft can support in all phases beginning from assessment (Diagnostic - roadmap definition) and solution definition. We have proven tools & methodologies for all these phases.

7. Migration Options • Lift and Shift- The best option • Legacy Modernization / Transformation Eg: Convert COBOL's to JAVA on mainframe UNIX Limitations of flexibility & supportability remains • Replace with Packaged Applications Eg: ERP systems Workflow dictated by the package's functionality Much business intelligence is lost • Rip and Replace Not recommended due to the time, cost & risk involved 75% of such projects fails

8. Process Steps [ Assess – Transform – Manage ] • Ecosystem analysis • Identify which applications are good candidates for moving off the mainframe • TCO and ROI analysis • Total Cost of Ownership & Return on Investment from a migration • Risk analysis • Review the current environment and IT deployment plans and assess the risk of each scenario • Migration planning • Migration planning and scheduling is possibly the most critical element • Infrastructure and application design • Design both the target environment and the application architecture • Reverse / Forward engineering • Database, custom code & screen migration • MVS Change Management • System monitoring, management, and support • Performance Tuning, Security Audits

9. How Macrosoft Lifts & Shifts Applications • COBOLS • Recompile COBOL's in target environments • 99% COBOL reuse We have the know-how and tools for direct transformation of COBOL's The target executables are .NET applications, DLLs and EXEs (with XML support) • JCLs • Use KornShell Scripts as Job control language (Batch Processing retained) • All features of JCLs (eg: RESTART facility ) retained We have standard tools for direct conversion of JCLs to Shell Scripts • VSAM / EBCDIC Data • Convert to ISAM / ASCII data Our tools understand both formats, and transparently convert • DB2 / IMS DB / IDMS / ADABAS We have standardized migration strategy, processes and tools for database schema and data migration to various RDBMs such as SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 UDB, etc. Automated tools for data extraction, cleanup and format conversion helps to save much time. The migration workbench helps in validating the migration process, including access privileges and performance optimization.

10. How Macrosoft Lifts & Shifts Applications (continued) • CICS Windows path • Microfocus Enterprise Server with Mainframe Transaction Option [ Provides run-time environment for CICS COBOL applications ] UNIX Path • SUN MTP and similar tools Custom Path • Java, XML, .NET • MQ Series – Messaging & Queuing • IBM MQ SDK (Software Development Kit) provides all necessary support for migration / development in various platforms • IBM & Third Party Utilities Example: Quikjob, FileAid, IEBGENER, IDCAMS, etc. • Automated tools (source code generators) to replace standard IBM utilities with Perl Scripts, COBOL's or C • Third Party Tools Example: SyncSort, Transformer, Anchor, Dialogue, EZ-Letter, etc. We have partnership with many of the third party tool vendors, who provided know-how on directly transforming to Windows version of their mainframe tools [ Reference Our Vestcom Migration Project ]
