Company Background
ATERAS has supported global enterprises for over 25 years, offering state of the art tools and services to our clients for modernizing and migrating legacy systems to the most current IT environments. The patent-pending automated technologies include DB-Shuttle™ for conversion and eavRPM™ for rapid program modernization. Application Portfolio Management (APM) solutions range from comprehensive assessments of existing IT environments, enterprise field expansion, COBOL and Natural workbenches to automated documentation tools. Migration of mission critical applications and databases can be either mainframe to mainframe or to newer platforms such as Java or the .NET Framework. ATERAS delivers these solutions by working through leading systems integrators and alliance partners in markets including: Insurance, Financial Services, Healthcare, Government and Universities in both domestic and in global markets. 
Solution
ATERAS offers both an automated conversion solution for legacy systems (Adabas, IDMS, IMS &VSAM) and a modernization solution.
The conversion solution helps organizations automatically migrate applications to Oracle. Upon delivery, a client will have functionally equivalent, seamlessly integrated applications that provide a reduced cost structure and improved business agility. The delivered applications are SOA enabled and able to take advantage of the Oracle target
ATERAS offers modernization of several legacy programming languages including:
·                  ADS/Online
·                  COBOL
·                  Natural
Legacy code and database modernization retains the basic functionality of your existing applications and databases, but changes the look, flow or general feel for the end-user community, and changes the underlying technology for your support teams. With ATERAS, modernization to C# .NET or to Java results in beautifully native web-based applications that you maintain with Visual Studio, Eclipse or another standards-compliant IDE of choice. Rather than perpetuating 3270 routines that decide what key was pressed or to count how many lines of data can fit on a screen, the ATERAS modernization tools exploit the capabilities of the .NET or J2EE frameworks, generating methods, classes, functions and objects that provide buttons and scroll bars instead.
 
Solutions Overview
DB-Shuttle
ATERAS designed and developed a unique patent-pending automation technology called DB-Shuttle™, which allows mainframe migration with 100% conversion automation, functional equivalency, and equal or better performance at execution.
The ATERAS teams use DB-Shuttle to convert legacy databases to Oracle and legacy applications to newer, more open languages (C#, COBOL or JAVA). With DB-Shuttle, ATERAS guarantees retention of customer business rules and retention of the legacy asset on the new platform.
 
Assessment
A mainframe IT assessment is a solid method of understanding the existing program and script components of a mainframe environment before deciding whether to perform a conversion, modernization or migration project. ATERAS automatically gathers legacy mainframe source code and database definitions to produce multiple reports for project planning.
 
eavRPM
eavRPM allows mainframe developers to create new business applications in native open systems using C# or Java, without knowing C# or Java. COBOL and Adabas Natural developers can now copy and paste mainframe maps, business rules and other source code from mainframe languages to web pages quickly and easily. The result: native web applications with no middleware, no blackboxes and no ongoing license fees. The benefit: leverage of your proven business rules with a brand new user interface, continued keyboard features with new mouse-driven and scrollable features, and much lower operating costs for your organization. The bottom line: less cost, more features, full agility, complete scalability, and the ability to add colors, graphics, video and all of the visual interest that today's world wide web offers.
 
Eav
eav™ is an automated Enterprise Application Viewer that can be used for impact analysis and full mainframe program documentation for Natural and COBOL. eav is an application portfolio management tool that builds a powerful knowledgebase, automatically gathering source code from the production environment and providing useful reports of the relationships between the mainframe programs
