Overview:

ATERAS has supported global enterprises for over 26 years, offering state of the art services to our clients by modernizing and migrating legacy systems to the most current IT environments. Global enterprises benefit from a comprehensive suite of automated tools (DB-Shuttle™, eavRPM rapid program modernization) and services. Solutions range from application modernization, IT global assessments, impact analysis, COBOL workbenches, and automated documentation to automated database and application migrations.

Offerings and Services:

COBOL Conversion and Migration
Whether you plan to change the database management system that your COBOL applications use, the teleprocessing monitor that your online COBOL applications use, or the entire COBOL language of your applications, ATERAS has the automated solution to meet your needs. With ATERAS, COBOL applications can be converted to native CICS COBOL.

If you are replacing an aging database or file system (such as IDMS, Adabas, IMS or VSAM) within a COBOL application, the ATERAS solution includes all changes to your existing COBOL applications so that they process against the new relational database model. For COBOL-based applications that use IDMS-DC or IMS-DC today, the ATERAS conversion also includes a one-for-one conversion from the current TP monitor to CICS COBOL, allowing native CICS processing for the future.

ATERAS uses DB-Shuttle™ to convert non-CICS COBOL applications to CICS COBOL, and to convert any COBOL programs or modules so they execute against a new relational database model. Customization options are possible as DB-Shuttle automatically converts your existing COBOL components including programs, subroutines, copybook records and copybook modules. Services that are provided by a non-CICS teleprocessing monitor are replaced with CICS services. With ATERAS and DB-Shuttle, COBOL conversion is no longer a manual, time-consuming process. The DB-Shuttle technology ensures that the COBOL conversion produces a functionally equivalent replacement application every time.

COBOL Workbench and Documentation Tool
Enterprise Application Viewer (eav™)
Many IT organizations are experiencing difficulties with application maintenance and enhancement that is caused by the "newness" of their technical teams and the lack of up-to-date documentation regarding the applications. Many have seen the "original design team" or "everyone that knew that system" move ahead to management, to other technologies, or to retirement. Identifying the source of some production problems is a week-long battle, when it once was a matter of minutes or hours.

The Enterprise Application Viewer (eav™) propels any IT organization into a state of fast problem resolution, accurate impact analysis, and complete up-to-date application documentation, regardless of how team members have come and gone. eav provides both business and technical teams with instant insight into application flow, cross- program or intra-program flow, and even field-level usage across your entire enterprise.

Reduce Costs
The Enterprise Application Viewer is a complete analytical team within a single tool. eav provides both application and business teams with the ability to quickly understand and follow the logic within applications, between applications, and within programs. IT teams no longer need technical specialists for each application. A core team of programmers and analysts can debug, maintain and enhance multiple complex applications within any environment using eav.

With eav, IT organizations can reduce costs across the organization:

• Reduce maintenance costs which often account for more than 75% of an IT budget
• Reduce downtime by resolving critical production issues in a fraction of the time
• Reduce project cost overruns by accurately estimating enhancements and new development efforts
• Maintain, enhance and develop applications with fewer team members
• Reduce IT project headcount by including business team members in IT analysis

Increase Agility
With the Enterprise Application Viewer, your IT team is armed with a tool suite to quickly change, enhance and expand your application portfolio to better meet your business demands, increase your market potential and meet the ever-changing needs of your customers.
