2. Legacy Systems Kill - One Way or Another

3. The Opportunity is Exploding
3
43% of IT executives
believe an inability to work
with legacy systems is the
biggest barrier to future
mobile initiatives.
90% of IT decision makers
claimed that legacy systems are
preventing them from harnessing
the digital technologies they need
to grow and become more
efficient.
75% of North American and
European enterprise IT budgets
are expended on ongoing
operations and maintenance.
80-90% of IT budgets in the
Financial Services sector is spent
keeping the lights on leaving little
scope for the innovation demanded
by customers.

4. Solutions to these legacy
problems….
• Replace the legacy system with a package solution
• Rewrite the legacy system
• Modernize: analyze; remediate; transform to a modern,
multi-tier architecture; enable on-going application
development using a low-code framework
Cost Risk Time-to-Value

Package 10x Medium Mid/Low Low
Rewrite 5x High High Medium
Modernize 1x Low Low/Mid High

5. “Modernization” Options
• Automaton (1:1 language migration)
• garbage in/garbage out
• not taking advantage of new architectures
• can’t preserve business knowledge
• low automatic conversion rates even on simple applications
• Wrapping (adding a connectivity layer)
• may be an interim option to improve user experience/enable web deployment
• does nothing to address the inherent issues with the legacy code. Nuclear
containment at best
• not suitable for dynamic applications, e.g. ISVs requiring extensibility/
enterprises chasing regulatory compliance
• Full modernization (analyze/modernize/develop)
• the domain of Morphis

6. Company Background
• History
• founded in 2014 to address the exploding market of legacy to cloud
modernization
• solution developed from 20+ years of technology development and project
experience with ATX Software
• Current Status
• based in Lisbon, Portugal with sales offices in Spain, Brazil, UK, US (c50 staff
total)
• tools and processes covering:
1. Analysis - detailed mining of legacy system source code
2. Application modernization - single solution for many source languages
3. Application development - a low-code framework for ongoing maintenance/
enhancement of the application
• combination of direct sales and partner referrals: all sectors but most traction
in financial services and with ISVs

Project Estimation
Source code mining - multiple
languages/single solution
• Diagnose code complexity (interdependence of modules)
• Identify redundant/duplicate code/modules
• Identify complex code patterns and re-architect
• Visual analysis of legacy code can be configured into
user-driven, template-based documentation
• Automatically produce first order effort estimations
• Layer in complexity analysis to fine-tune time and cost
estimates and add risk assessment
• Static analysis of source code against a set of defined rules
(guidelines/best practices)
• CMMI level 4, ISO15939, ISO15504 - SPICE, etc.
• Directly integrated in dev process to increase productivity
& research costs

11. Cloud Enablement of Outdated Legacy Applications
Technology Capability Overview
Develop
• A powerful “low-code” application development
framework for database-driven apps in Java and .NET
• Developers can focus on writing business logic,
thereby, enabling high productivity
• WYSIWYG form builder tools
Maintain and enhance
multi-tier system using
low-code design techniques
• A technology agnostic software tool for building apps
• GUI supports multiple platforms, therefore, developer
works in a single environment
• Agnostic presentation language that allows technology
independence (HTML5, Adobe Flex, WPF or Mobile)
• Maintain quality standards through all development
activities
