A Specialized AI-powered Mainframe Analysis Solution
AI-Powered Mainframe Dependency Mapping for Modernization and Risk Reduction
-
Dependency mapping - understand how artifacts connect
-
Analysis creation tool - use a graphical tool to select what artifacts to understand
-
AI generated SQL for analysis - use AI to easily create SQL queries to analyze your mainframe applications
-
Data lineage - understand what programs and jcl creates, uses and deletes data
-
Modernization visibility - build a better understanding of impact of moderinzation
-
Application relationship discovery - see what artifacts from one application connect with other applications
-
Openly defined and accessible data repository
How we got here
35+ years of mainframe analysis

How we work
Step 1
Ingest mainframe source (languages, JCL, data definitions)
Step 2
Parsing builds dependency relationships
Step 3
Tool or AI assisted generation of application flows
Step 4
Generate SQL to be used for modernization insights
Step 5
Display dependency graphs
Who we can help
Organizations who benefit from our services fall into several major categories....
