BASE100 offers entirely new approaches, supported by innovative tools, which have rapidly accumulated experience from hundreds of millions of lines of code converted and put into production. Technology and solutions surpass any other option for the modernization of Legacy systems.

Greater analysis capacity

The foundation for modernizing z/OS is a deep understanding of the system. The greater analysis capacity of the BASE100 tools ensures that each aspect of the system is described, extracting all the functionality, and recovering a value built up over the years. In other words: a modernization of systems based on complete information allows for the best transformation options in each case.

Target platform without limitations

BASE100 offers a flexible path where the Target Platform has no limitations. Indeed: Micro-services, containers, Kubernetes, multi-tier architecture. Interfaces based on HTML5, CSS, js, Angular, or React and data management with multiple options JDBC, JPA, JSQL,…

In the same way, the Target Platform can benefit from the most used Java frameworks: SPRING, GWT (Google Web Toolkit) or JSF.

Fast projects with results from the very beginning

Fast projects, converting COBOL code to Java immediately. This allows for the verification of results and the evaluation of options from the outset, creating a foundation upon which to make decisions.

Consequently, BASE100’s technology allows for the construction of a solid system modernization plan, starting from the initial phases.

The modernization of z/OS by BASE100 begins with a detailed analysis of the Legacy system (components and data) and the specifications of the Target Platform, considering all aspects that can influence the transformation.

Within the Conversion Contract, the transformation rules are defined, which will be used by Caravel Converter ENGINE to generate the new architecture, the new Java code, and the new data structures.

In a modernization project, BASE100 offers complete freedom to choose the architecture and technologies of the target platform.

Our modernization tools allow unrestricted choices: data access mode, user interface, service-oriented or microservices architecture, containers, Kubernetes, on-premises or cloud deployment.

All the most innovative technologies can be incorporated into the generated system.

A different path to z/OS modernization

BASE100‘s solutions for Legacy system modernization have brought about a profound change.

In contrast to rigid approaches with long-duration projects, BASE100 offers complete flexibility and delivers results in reduced timeframes.

An unparalleled capacity for analyzing Legacy systems allows for the construction of the most solid plan. This level of knowledge makes all the difference.

BASE100’s transformation mechanisms provide complete freedom, and each aspect can be customized to achieve the most suitable target platform.

Today, any technology or architecture is possible without limitations, enabling rapid system modernization processes.

First: Architecture recommendations

BASE100‘s tools allow for evaluating the system and then making recommendations to ensure effective system modernization. They detect areas where SOA or microservices architectures can be incorporated and identify the best componentization strategy.

In all cases, the most innovative technologies are utilized (containers, Kubernetes, microservices, JPA…).

Second: High-quality, secure, and maintainable Java code.

In the COBOL to Java transformation, the resulting code is organized, secure, and achieves the highest quality ratings when evaluated.

Similarly, when subjected to analysis with SonarQUBE, the code produced by Caravel Converter consistently yields the best results in all aspects.

z/OS Modernization Proof of Concept

Request your Proof of Concept (PoC)

A Proof of Concept will allow you to see a portion of your IBM z system analyzed and documented, with examples of your own code translated to Java.

Furthermore, BASE100 migrates 100% of your COBOL, JCL, CICS system to Java and XML while maintaining the same functionality. The SEQ, VSAM, and DB2 file systems are migrated to an RDBMS data structure. Conducting a PoC will help you gain a better understanding of your system, assess the scope of modernization, and clarify your decision.

Throughout the process, you will have the support and expertise of BASE100 technicians.
