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.

Greenfield Modernization: The Better Way
The greenfield modernization approach is a tempting option for IT teams, but it’s also one filled with significant risks—as we’ve discussed in previous articles of this series. However, a less risky and more effective approach is available, so let’s unpack it and see how it addresses or avoids many of the problems greenfield faces. A Better Way The better way is easy to summarize: modernization teams should use automated code transformation for the bulk of …
Strategies for Modernizing the Mainframe Experience
You may have recently read The Benefits and Challenges of Mainframe Application Modernization here in the blog. Careful readers will note that the term I use is “mainframe application modernization” and not “mainframe modernization,” as it is commonly used. You see, the mainframe is a modern computing platform, having been continually updated and modified by IBM over the decades of its existence. It would be difficult to find a more modern platform than today’s current …
Global Bank finds a self-funding approach to Mainframe Modernization with GFT and CloudFrame
A leading Global bank knew it needed to modernize its mainframe as costs increased, but it was also concerned about the impact on its daily activities and business disruptions. Digital transformation leader GFT and COBOL to Java modernization experts CloudFrame worked together to transform two batch jobs and their Cobol programs into a new environment in just three weeks. The project delivered greater-than-expected cost reductions without impacting the development teams supporting the application. Background Mainframe …

Real Experiences Shifting COBOL Compute Workload
Organizations that rely on mainframe COBOL applications for mission-critical internal and customer-facing applications are facing significant challenges. The IT professionals needed to maintain these applications are getting harder to find and more expensive to hire. Additionally, the execution cost of delivering long-standing results is increasing yearly. Historical increases for MLC have been around 5% per year, but in 2023, increases are reported to be 8% and, in some cases, as high as 15%. Cost relief …
COBOL to Maintainable Java: Innovations that Expand What’s Possible Now Available on YouTube
Organizations that depend on mission-critical COBOL applications want the business value of the application without the risk, cost, and constraints of COBOL. They want to modernize these applications to leverage the advantages of cloud infrastructure and ease of innovation. Until now, they had few options for these valuable COBOL applications. • Do nothing and cope with rising risks and costs. • Greenfield rewrites that are expensive and prone to failure. • Code conversions that involve …
