There are many reasons for software migrations: cost-reduction, platform consolidation, expiring support for old platforms and development tools or technologies, dwindling know-how, modernisation of the application architectures to better meet the new requirements (keyword:  SOA, Composite Applications, Cloud, etc.).

And there are many risks.

• Security: How can large, strongly interconnected applications be securely migrated to new platforms and new databases?
• Reliability: How can errors in the productive business operation be prevented?
• Costs: How can a double effort for development and maintenance be avoided?
• Changes: What if technical parameters change, if after all you want to use other platform components?

We have asked RDW, an experienced IT provider. Their answer: In-place migration with SCORE Data Architecture Integration.

Overall, RDW migrated 14,400 software objects including 12 million lines of COBOL code from UNSIYS OS 2200 RSA RDMS to Microsoft Windows managed .NET with Microsoft SQL Server as database. 3,200 data access services for each of systems, for RSA RDMS and for Microsoft SQL Server have been generated automatically by using SCORE Data Architecture Integration.

RDW - Platform Migration with SCORE Data Architecture Integration SCORE Data Architecture Integration has played an important role in RDW’s platform migration from Unisys OS 2200 to Microsoft Windows. The original application consisted of a one-tier architecture accessing the RDMS database via RSA CALL interface.

Every software migration is different. We would like to discuss with you about your opportunities to migrate your applications securely and error-free. Get in touch with us.

Users confirm: SCORE Data Architecture Integration ensures a secure and smooth platform change.

"The fact that we did platform, database and application architecture transformation in one step was way beyond what we expected to be possible. SCORE Data Architecture Integration proved to be the robust and reliable product we needed to keep our data secure and available during this project."
