Eranea Information

Eranea delivers a solution to automatically transform legacy business applications to Java, Linux and cloud computing. This solution has been successfully applied to many projects in various sectors : media, administration, finance (bank & insurance), retail, software publishing, etc. The systems that we transform are most often initially written in Cobol and run on mainframes but other technical environment and programming languages are handled. Our technology is 100% automated. So,the new Java source code is generated from Cobol by our transcoder using lots of techniques of the compiler world. We usually set up our "transcoding factory" by customers in order to transcode any time and so include the last daily maintenance of Cobol in the new Java version. Our projects are run on best DevOps practices. Our transcoding is also fully iso-functional: the Java programs do exactly the same thing "at the bit level" as their Cobol ancestors, including database updates. Consequently, our tooling allows very smooth migration: new Java version is fully up to date with Cobol on a daily basis and, consequently, both Cobol and Java versions can update the same live production database. Coherency is guaranteed ! The migration path is then very smooth and progressive: no big-bang as users can be migrated 1 by 1 and no risk since Java & Cobol work live on the same database. Our solution delivers 2 main added value: - massive cost savings: migrate to Linux/x86 from mainframe can deliver up to 90% savings on a recurring yearly basis. Millions of dollars / euros saved every year ! - huge modernization: Cobol, Cics, 3270, mainframe replaced by Java, Tomcat/JBoss/etc., html+ajax, linux But, the feature most appreciated by CIOs is the incrementality, smoothness and safety of our transformation process : lots with of very small steps toward the goal, no risk in each of them, no maintenance freeze during the entire project.
