  • Proven track record

– Providing migrations since 1999

  • SystemWerx and MFT vendors

– Alliance to deliver migration solutions – We are providing tools for migration – Will work with Vendor to migrate users

Who are we?

Why migrate ?

  • Cost of existing tools

– Vendors exploit their market position and users dependence to increase costs – Opportunity to reduce costs

  • Poor supplier relationship

– Some organizations wish to replace CA and others

  • Migrate to newer more capable tools

– Encryption – Compliance – Improved management

Why consider migration ?

Why migrate ?

  • Asses the cost and benefit of migration

– Re-tooling existing applications can be costly – For existing applications it may be difficult to justify re-tooling if applications cannot be made richer in function or address an existing business need – Opportunity to reduce costs

  • Asses the risk of migration

– Can be difficult to quantify

Why migrate ?

  • We offer the assistance of experienced staff to

assist in the process :

– Initial assessment study – Detailed Project planning – Migrate, test and implement

  • We offer tools to help migrate :

– Translation – Emulation

  • Users can take as much or little assistance as

they wish

Why migrate ?

  • Initial assessment study

– Identify features used in applications

  • Identify any gaps and countermeasure

– Identify size of migration – create detailed manifest – Estimate effort required – Initial project plan

  • Detailed Project planning

– Assist in producing a detailed project plan for migration

Why migrate ?

  • Migrate, test and implement

– Provide users with tools to :

  • Quickly move to product
  • Intended to allow user to migrate with minimum assistance
  • Does not provide a totally effort-free solution!!

– Some effort required by customer

– Assist user in testing and implementation

Why migrate ? Two possible approaches

slide-11
SLIDE 11

11

Why migrate ?

  • Two approaches to migration :

– Emulation

  • Emulate the interface of an existing product and map

commands to New MFT in real-time

  • Requires minimum application change

– Reduced risk – Fast turnaround

– Translation

  • Translate control statements and JCL to new MFT

– Most investment is in z/OS JCL in our experience

  • Provides a complete transition to using the new MFT

natively – no emulation and MIMIC no longer required

12

Why migrate ?

  • Currently available tools (driven by user need ):

– XCOM

  • Emulation of z/OS batch interface

– Connect:Direct

  • Emulation of z/OS batch interface
  • Control statement translator
  • JCL translator
  • Netmap translator

Migration Approach

  • We are committed to make migration as

easy as possible

  • Our approach is collaborative

– We work with you to produce the best solution for your environment – We acknowledge that there may be no universal way to approach migration

  • We have and will continue to modify our tools as

required by customers

  • We are open to alternative approaches

Sample Migration Previous Successes

Their Needs

  • Current Vendor Providing Poor Support ( C:D )
  • Looking To Reduce Production Window
  • Looking To Provide Better Functionality To Clients

Their Plan

  • Three phases

– Replace internal processing within one division – Start customer conversion for that division – Deploy to other areas of the organization

The Early Results

  • More simultaneous transfers were

able to be run reducing production window

  • Overall MIPS used reduced 50%
  • Throughput was increased by nearly

70%

17

Their Needs

  • Reduce costs of XCOM and CA products in general
  • Implement migration before Contract expired
  • Minimum production change – reduce risk
  • Systems redesign within 3 years – cannot justify re-tooling

Their Plan

  • Implement emulator to allow migration of batch processes

while retaining existing application investment

  • Translate later if required
