The arrival of the new technologies turned the needs of businesses upside down. The businesses are confronted with economic globalisation that obliges them to heighten their reactivity and to continually offer more value added services, more quickly, at the same time as limiting their investment.

The survival of businesses is conditioned by their capacity to adapt to their social, technological and competitive environment, and to free themselves from the inertia of their information systems that are still largely dominated by COBOL code. (There is an estimated 200 billion line of COBOL code in legacy systems still running worldwide).

In any case, a system that doesn't evolve becomes more expensive to maintain every day. Thus, the activity of maintenance of inherited application alone takes up more that 60% of the computing resources available on the planet!

Software renovation refers to a group of techniques that target the decompartmentalization of the mainframe world and the adaptation of information systems with a view to converting the technological infrastructure to that of the new technologies (Java/JSP, J2EE/EJB, .Net, etc..) in order to improve their capacity for change, growth and reuse.

Software renovation requires an extended spectrum of competences in order to resolve specific engineering situations that are born of the juxtaposition of several generations of technology. Only a combination of know-how and experience, such as that of Softeam, can meet to this engineering challenge.

SOFTEAM, with its wide experience in the profession, can help you solve these problems through its Consulting, Training, Development and Products Services.
