One of the major problems facing enterprises today is their huge investments - in terms of time, effort, intellectual property rights, and proprietary business logic - buried deeply into their existing systems. These systems are written in languages like COBOL, Fortran, etc. which are now considered legacy.

The major causes for concern to enterprises are:

• Vendors phasing out support for legacy products
• Lack of availability of maintenance personnel for on-going maintenance of these legacy systems.
• Inability of these systems to cater to newer demands like web-enabled interfaces, service-oriented architectures.
• Lack of inherent security capabilities - programmed add-ons not as effective.

According to Gartner's Legacy Modernisation Magic Quadrant, the economy would drive many such enterprises to rethink their legacy portfolios, and hence, the market for Legacy Modernisation is likely to touch $200 Million in 2006. There are many benefits of Legacy Mordernisation tools, and they significantly reduce the risk of failure when maintaining or transforming aging legacy systems.

On the one hand, these Legacy systems cater to business critical needs and hence remain vital to the organization. On the other hand, since they are based on obsolete technologies, they can turn out to be not only a major liability but also a serious risk over time.

Tech Mahindra has devised a solution to overcome this legacy dilemma. With our patented Language Conversion Framework, we offer automated migrations, from Legacy to state-of-the-art systems, which reduce the outlay and effort required for migrations by more than 90 per cent, at the same time ensuring zero-error quality.

Our globally unique Language Conversion Framework is a result of our own ingenious research in Programming Languages. The basic concept behind this framework is that no Programming Language can exceed the limits of any Theory of Computability. All Programming Languages can therefore be reduced to a few fundamental principles - which can be described as an abstract mathematical model of commands and states.

Advantages:

• Conversions based on strong theoretical foundations of Dijkstra's Guarded Commands, Type theory & Semantics of Programming Languages
• Protection of the Intellectual Property Rights of these enterprises - enterprises need not expose more than 10% of their proprietary source code to Tech Mahindra.
• More than 90% saving in conversion efforts as compared to manual conversions/rewrites
• Semantically equivalent conversions guaranteed - Zero-Error Quality Assurance

Tech Mahindra's offering:

• Complete end-to-end migration of the code base of the customers' existing systems.
• Overall maintenance and support of the newly architected systems
