The CORE Migration Method for Legacy Applications
Modernizing your legacy applications doesn’t mean replacing them entirely. Instead, we focus on preserving and enhancing your core systems, ensuring you get the most value from your existing software.
Your legacy systems built iont languages such as COBOL, PowerHouse, Visual Basic, PowerBuilder and others, are vital to your business. These applications contain valuable data and are deeply integrated with other systems. Rather than replacing them, we help modernize and extend their capabilities to fit current platforms.
Our Proven Process for Success
Our step-by-step process ensures clear deliverables, quality checks, and continuous collaboration with your team. We guarantee that your project stays on track, meets expectations, and remains within budget.
Our process goes beyond application migration. It includes project management, quality assurance, training, and ongoing support for a seamless transition. By minimizing time spent on code-and-build activities, we make the process faster and more efficient.
Transition to Modern Platforms
We help transition your legacy applications to modern platforms using a proven approach and advanced tools. Below are charts that outline the legacy languages we support and the target platforms and databases for migration:
Powerful Tools for Faster Migration
Our advanced tools accelerate the migration process, reducing manual work and ensuring an efficient and reliable transition. These tools eliminate time-consuming tasks, speeding up your migration.
Key components of our approach include:
1. Design Preservation Toolkit
A series of high-speed parsers that scans the legacy system data definitions and source code and creates the intermediary API files that are loaded into the repository.
2. The CORE Repository
An object-oriented relational database and library of Application Programming Interfaces (API) that validate incoming data and ensure the recovered application is consistently represented and stored in the form of objects, methods and business rules that make up the underlying application.
3. The Forward Engineering Toolkit
An integrated application development toolkit that uses the information in the repository to perform an assortment of tasks including re-documentation, application and data definition navigation, impact analysis as well as forward engineering to various target environments. The target application development environments and technologies currently generated by the tool include Java and Microsoft .NET 100% code. The target database environments include Oracle, SQL Server and DB2 and Informix (from Image, RMS, C-ISAM, Rdb, Eloquence, etc.).
Some of the Benefits of the CORE Migration Methodology
When you modernize with us, you gain these key benefits:
- Full functionality replication, CMM ensures your Applications deliver the same functionality, just faster and more efficiently and on the Cloud.
- Maintain Productivity. CMM allows organizations to mitigate business transition disruption while preserving your Legacy assets..
- Better ROI. CMM produces faster migration results and lower go-live and ongoing support costs.
- Reduced risk. By leveraging CMM, and it’s AI driven QA process, customer realize quicker time-to-market results with minimal disruption.
- Increased revenue. Boost Bottom Line Performance: By freeing up resources, scale operational efficiency and unlocking new opportunities.

Modernizing your legacy systems doesn’t just extend their capabilities but also integrates them with modern technology, giving you a strong foundation for future growth.
Your Modernization Options
We offer two migration approaches: CORE-Directed and SELF-Directed, each backed by our experienced team.
CORE-Directed
Our team handles the entire migration process, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition. We manage everything, with ongoing collaboration to keep you informed. This diagram outlines our team’s responsibilities alongside yours.
SELF-Directed
If you want to take the lead, we provide support through planning and training to help your team manage the migration process. This diagram outlines how the responsibilities are shared between us and your team.
