Mainframe Migrations

The challenge is to recognize when doing business in the current environment becomes more risky and painful the task of migration legacy systems.
Our Mainframe Migration service lets you align your business processes more closely with new IT capabilities. The benefits include signficant savings through reduced operatings expenses and increased functionality that can bring about a sustainble competitive advantage.
Over the years, OnX has been helping customer achieve their TCO and ROI objectives by migration applications to newer platforms. The Micrsoft Windows Server platform is no exception to this role.
The decision to transfer legacy systems into a solid foundation for the future, that works as well or better than the existing systems and is less costly to maintain, is a difficult one. applications that could potentially be migrated fall into two categorie: database and application components. Depending on the business drivers, one or both can be replaced with alternative products.
The OnX Mainframe Migration process allows us to provide our customers with the roadmap needed to make the transition as seamless as possible. Some customers decide to move the applications "as is" while others take this opportunity to "evolve" the applications and rewrite it.
Our Customers are now migrating or rewrite applications to leverage the extensibility of the .NET platform and Microsoft Server base. This includes a mix of browser and windows based applications running on Windows 2003 and SQL 2000 infrastructures. Our interface and usability team assist in making the new applications a reality with "state of the art" features and options.
OnX has 2 strategic partners is this area:
- As a member of the Mainframe Migration Alliance and is helping customers find the best solutions to the migration challenge.
- Microfocus and their "Shift and Lift" are helping minimize re-development efforts by moving the application between the platforms with minimal interrupt or development costs.
