For many businesses, legacy systems started life as a powerful tool to gain market share. Now, these systems present serious challenges that threaten their competitiveness. For modern organizations to remain competitive, that monolithic thing that keeps critical processes humming and business objectives intact needs to be maintained, updated, and integrated with shinier, newer technologies. To
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has been hailed as a game-changer, promising increased efficiency, productivity, and business cost savings. And deservedly so. However, amidst all the excitement and buzz, it’s always a good idea to delve deeper and acknowledge the limitations and challenges that come hand-in-hand with a brand-new game-changing technology. Let’s explore some of the
The data migration phase of a modernization project introduces a thorny critical path. Companies that have been around for decades, steadily collecting and storing data, have sizable volumes of data to work with, making the task complex and time-consuming. The good news: with the right approach, data migration can be eliminated entirely. Traditional Data Migration
In recent years, governments around the world have invested heavily in IT modernization initiatives to better serve their constituents with improved services and a higher level of efficiency. Unfortunately, many of these projects have ground to a halt or crashed and burned entirely thanks to a lack of planning or a botched execution. On the
In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, it is not uncommon to encounter legacy applications written in outdated programming languages like COBOL, widely used for business applications from the 1960s to the 1990s. As technology has progressed, the need to modernize these COBOL applications has become increasingly acute. To pave the way, we’ve explored the
Artificial Intelligence (AI) evolved over many decades, but its impact on business operations blew up when Open AI released ChatGPT one year ago. Now, from streamlining processes to enhancing decision-making capabilities, AI offers immense potential for growth and efficiency. Despite calls to pause the release of advanced AI until we can get a grip on
In this webinar, you will learn how to "refactor" your legacy app developed in COBOL, RPG, or CA 2E (Synon) directly to maintainable runtime-free Java and JS. Demo included.
In uncertain economic times, reducing costs through efficiency becomes a high concern for most companies. The hard part is getting it done without sacrificing the very thing that makes the company competitive and risk losing market share in the process. One solution that has gained significant traction is Robotic Process Automation (RPA). With it, you
As we’ve identified in previous articles, the Strangler Pattern approach provides a valuable strategy for breaking down legacy applications into smaller, more manageable components while keeping your existing system intact and operating. In this article, we turn to the implementation process in the context of an IBM i application, where we break the application down
The world of work is constantly evolving, and intelligent automation is one of the most significant factors driving these changes. From artificial intelligence (AI) to robotics, automation technologies are transforming industries and reshaping jobs as we know them. In this article, we explore the future of work in the context of intelligent automation, examining its
