Self-Fund Your
Modernization
Journey
By reducing your mainframe cost, you can
invest the money saved into additional
application modernization initiatives.
Set
Your Pace
An incremental approach allows
you to set the schedule and pace
and eliminates the all-or-nothing
dilemma.
Control
Your Cost
Configurable code generation
ensures high quality of the
transformed Java code and
services, and reduces the need for
external resources.
Reduce
Your Risk
With CloudFrame, you can prove
functional equivalency and remove
long and out-of-control testing and approval cycles.
The ability to utilize mainframe data sources and existing
processes helps to mitigate risk and accelerates
modernization outcomes.
What Customers Have to Say
The CloudFrame COBOL application modernization products allow us to configure and iterate our COBOL transformations.
The control the CloudFrame modernization process provides reduces the amount of time and cost that are necessary to rewrite or tweak the Java applications we deliver.
The result is superior code quality, lower cost, and faster projects, all with no vendor lock-in. — CTO, Global System Integrator

What is the Average Cost per MIPS or MSU? Who Cares!
The title of today’s post is a question that I get asked all the time. Sometimes by users who are interested in trying to curtail mainframe costs. Sometimes by vendors looking for a way to promote their products that help to reduce costs. While both are well-meaning, this is a question I never answer. Because it is meaningless. Let’s discuss why this is so. First, let’s look at some of the “answers” to this question …
Common Shifting COBOL Compute Mistakes
Shifting COBOL compute to less expensive platforms is a great first step on many organizations’ application modernization journey. There are multiple reasons an organization might want to begin with shifting COBOL compute, including low risk, the straightforward nature of the approach, and the potential for extraordinary ROI. NOTE: Cross-compiling COBOL programs into Java byte code is CloudFrame’s recommended shifting COBOL compute approach and is accomplished using the CloudFrame Relocate product. You can learn more about …
The Many Types of Mainframe Pricing
Whenever somebody talks about software pricing on the mainframe or tuning to save on their monthly mainframe bill, I always wonder just exactly what they are talking about. Are they aware of all their company’s licensing agreements and all the intricacies therein? Before we move on, let me just state that the mainframe still makes good economic sense. The total cost of ownership (TCO) for the mainframe, when you add up all of the cost …

Upcoming Webinar: Measuring the Impact of Shifting COBOL Compute
Shifting COBOL compute to less expensive platforms may be the best first step on the modernization journey. Identifying and moving the execution of your most expensive COBOL batch jobs provides an opportunity to reduce cost or free up funds in an existing IT budget. This modernization technique offers a low-risk, straightforward, and cost-effective approach that could lead to a reduction in your MSU usage spikes and MLC fees. If you move your COBOL compute to …
Planning a Successful Shifting COBOL Compute Project Now Available on YouTube
As mainframe costs continue to rise, alternate compute and execution environments such as the zIIP, Linux, and the cloud are gaining more attention and credibility. Using cross-compile techniques to transform COBOL systems to Java creates opportunities for application owners and IT management to explore and prove the economics of hybrid environments that leverage less expensive execution. While IT organizations are getting comfortable with hybrid environments for enterprise applications, most still need to pull their mainframe …
