Architecture-Driven, Automated Modernization Transformation, Refactoring and Documentation

TSRI not only transforms code from source to target languages but also improves it through our powerful refactoring capabilities, moving applications into modern architectures, languages, databases, and user interfaces.

Drawing upon 25+ years of success, our proven, highly-automated approach lowers risk, reduces errors, and accomplishes in months what might otherwise take years to modernize manually or even semi-automatically.

TSRI Capabilities

MODERNIZATION
OF LEGACY SYSTEMS

We provide rapid, automated, and low-risk modernization to your desired target language, quality, structure, and architecture — resulting in native, object-oriented, license fee-free code in a modern MVC architecture and programming languages without blackbox libraries, vendor lock, or "Golden Handcuffs."

MODERNIZATION
OF LEGACY DATABASES

We modernize flat-file, sequential, hierarchical, older relational, and other legacy databases to modern relational and distributed databases. Our dual Database Access Object layer can point to the legacy and modern database, which allows for a gradual migration of users, functionality, and database areas.

MODERNIZATION OF LEGACY USER INTERFACES

Our approach modernizes legacy user interfaces (UIs) and screens to modern UIs. From the same functionally equivalent look and feel to a fully modern UI with a REST layer (or both with our dual-UI layer), we can support your requirements and introduce systematic enhancements using our refactoring engine (e.g., 508). 

DOCUMENTATION
OF LEGACY & TARGET CODE

Reduce O&M costs and gain insights into your legacy code with our detailed code-level UML Application Blueprint® ("As-Is") and Transformation Blueprint® ("To-Be") as the knowledge-transfer document to help on-board developers and maintain the modernized application source code.

REFACTORING OF SOURCE CODE

TSRI's powerful refactoring and feedback-driven solution refactors code to meet coding standards, improve maintainability, remediate security vulnerabilities, increase performance, modularize, and externalize functionality and many other custom pattern-based changes. These include data-dictionary refactoring, code and record consolidation, introduction of logging/comments, and more.

MIGRATION
TO THE CLOUD

From migrating to a cloud-native, hybrid, cloud-in-a-box, or on-prem deployment, our migration capabilities include moving to new architectures and frameworks. We also commonly target cloud-native services, APIs, ESBs, SOA enablement, and introduce RESTful interfaces and micro-services, modularization and containerization, and much more.

TEST, INTEGRATION & DEPLOYMENT

TSRI offers test, integration, and deployment services. Together with our clients we identify what level of testing and integration is required for the modernization. TSRI also works with System Integrator partners to provide the right level of support to our clients. Best-of-breed automated test suites, DevOps tools and CI/CD pipelines are utilized to ultimately go to production.

APPLICATION LIFECYCLE
SUPPORT SERVICES

Our optional support and maintenance services provide ongoing technical support, extended warranties, transformation and framework updates, retransformation, hot-fixes, training, as well as up-to-date documentation to ensure a seamless continuation of development and maintenance after the successful deployment of your application.
