Before organizations take a leap to modernize their legacy mainframe environments, they must take stock of what the journey entails. mLogica’s proven in-depth mainframe and application assessment methodology helps mitigate the challenges of application portfolio rationalization, mainframe modernization, and management.

Mainframe Assessment Overview

Get the full picture before you begin your modernization journey by utilizing mLogica’s comprehensive Assessment Services, powered by mLogica’s proprietary LIBER*M tool. This involves the following:

• Assessing all the systems and/or application subsystems within the customer's data center.

• Reviewing each application to determine its alignment with business priorities and requirements.

• Determining the dependencies of each application on other applications, databases, IT infrastructure, and services.

• Selecting which applications are suitable candidates for re-platforming, refactoring, or rearchitecting.

• Evaluating which applications are ready for migration to the cloud, as well as optimal cloud options.

• Deciding which applications need to be redeveloped, replaced, or even retired.

This critical assessment phase results in a migration plan that lets clients understand their modernization options, possible journey paths, and recommended approach, including cost, timeline, and risks so that they can make an informed decision and achieve their target objectives.
