Solution

F reeSoft has been involved in the IT modernization and legacy transformation business since 1998. FreeSoft has built up a line of conversion technologies, project methodologies and processes to understand and transform a great variety of legacy systems into a modern IT environment and a new architecture, while ensuring the lowest risk and cost. Our legacy modernization services enable customers to transform different legacy systems running on heterogonous proprietary platforms, developed in various programming languages with data stored in legacy databases and file systems, into a J2EE environment, SOA based architecture.

 

Solutions Overview
  • FreeSoft's automated approach to migration quickly and inexpensively transforms legacy applications to a new enviroment and architecture while maintaining the data and the functionality of the original system. FreeSoft's approach is based on repeatable processes that reduce risk and prevent mistakes caused by manual procedures.
     

  • Portfolio Liberator(TM), our APM tool, to determine which applications and systems need to be modernized
  • Knowledge Liberator(TM) to capture the design or current state of the application. With Knowledge Liberator(TM) all of the information about the current application is input to our parsing technology.
  • Data Liberator(TM) is a set of technologies that use metadata created by the Knowledge Liberator(TM) and create mappings between original data models to relational database schemas. It also converts and loads legacy data to RDBMS
  • The Code Liberator(TM) uses metadata created by Knowledge Liberator(TM) to transform programs written in 3rd  and 4th generation programming languages into new applications using the J2EE architecture


 

Case Studies

Global Auto Rental Chain

The client is one of the largest car rental groups in the world with presence in more than 70 countries around the world. In the US, the client has more than 800 company-owned or franchised stores. With more than 1500 International locations, they are present at almost every major airport in the world.
 

The Project
 
Primary objective of the project was to migrate the business critical car reservation system's flat file structures and data into Oracle RDBMS. The conversion was accomplished in three phases:
  • Generating database objects and automated tool-based conversion of application
  • Generating additional software components for the modified conceptual architecture
  • Testing, re-generating by iteration, manual bug fixing, final tuning
 
The size of the original COBOL application was in the magnitude of approximately 124 ISAM data files (additional 124 data files for internal training) and some 681.000 lines of code.
 
Solution
 
The project was a complex migration process. The project integrated the following functions:
  • Strategic Consulting to develop the concept and collect all details and sources of the application
  • Creation and delivery of prototype to be evaluated by the customer, involving the migration of 2 of the most complex ISAM file structure and data, and core COBOL programs of the application
  • Delivery of migrated application and other sources
  • Unit test and integration test of migrated application in the user's development environment (code and data)
  • Bug tracking and bug fixing
  • Customer's Application Development Department training
 
 
Advantages for the customer
 
  • Get rid of the ISAM file structures, use only the Oracle database in the UNIX environment
  • Store data in a common, enterprise level data center
  • Enabling strategic redesign activities in the new environment
