But the price of change can be a costly, time-consuming, and complicated rewrite or conversion involving numerous unfamiliar activities. Even in the best circumstances, <a href="migration/migration.htm" style="text-decoration: none"><strong>migration</strong></a> means that a large volume of materials <strong>(jcl, procedure, program, transaction, screen, copy, include, database, file, record description, report, listing, documentation, etc</strong>) must be collected, cataloged, and controlled. Hundreds, even thousands, of <strong>programs runs</strong> must be <strong>planned</strong>, coordinated, and performed over and above your normal production workload.<br> <br> Often unforeseen during <strong>budgeting</strong>, however, are the numerous hidden costs of migration. For example, severe operational overhead can significantly paralyze ongoing production work. If <a href="migration/migration.htm" style="text-decoration: none"><strong>migration</strong></a> takes longer than planned <em>-as it frequently does-</em> the cost of extended parallel operation of computers can approach the budget for the entire project. The pressures resulting from these additional costs can make <strong>deadlines</strong> unachievable and severely damage staff morale, further contributing to the <a href="migration/migration.htm" style="text-decoration: none"><strong>migration</strong></a> problem.<br> <br> <strong>Since 1993 Computer System Services CSS has developed an industrial approach to system conversion</strong> which avoids many of the disadvantages of <strong>conventional conversion</strong>, achieves many of the benefits of a custom rewrite, and can save you time, money, and manpower. This unique approach, called <a style="text-decoration: none" href="xms/workbench.htm"><strong>XMS</strong></a> (<strong>Transformation Management System</strong>), uses an extensive library of specialized software (<strong>analyzers, generators, translators</strong>) and advanced programming and <strong>testing</strong> methods (<strong>quality measurement, source compare, database and file comparison tools</strong>). <strong>CSS</strong> carefully manages these elements at every stage of the <a href="migration/migration.htm" style="text-decoration: none"><strong>migration process</strong></a>. An experienced <strong>migration project manager</strong> works closely with you and coordinates the project. Guided by the project managers, technical team leaders supervise the <a href="migration/migration.htm" style="text-decoration: none"><strong>migration</strong></a> programmers. Our staff is skilled in organizing the migration and in anticipating and solving its problems. This <strong>organization</strong> enables us to meet <strong>schedules</strong> at a <strong>fixed price</strong>.</font></small></p> <p align="left"><small><font face="Arial"><a style="text-decoration: none" href="xms/workbench.htm"><strong>XMS</strong></a> has many advantages over conventional conversion. Whereas conversions frequently exceed their <strong>budgets</strong> and <strong>schedules</strong>, <a style="text-decoration: none" href="xms/workbench.htm"><strong>XMS</strong></a> reduces this <strong>risk</strong>. The transformation process not only accurately preserves all your application functions, but can also shorten the time needed to make your programs operational in your new environment. For every test, <a style="text-decoration: none" href="xms/workbench.htm"><strong>XMS</strong></a> <strong>compares</strong> the <strong>output</strong> of the <strong>transformed program</strong> with the <strong>converted output</strong> of the <strong>original program</strong> and flags any mismatches for the correction. We make sure that the <strong>migrated programs</strong> will produce output <strong>functionally equivalent</strong> to that produced by the <strong>original programs.</strong></font></small></td> <td valign="middle" align="center" width="45%"><p align="center"> <a href="xms/workbench.htm"><img src="../images/xms.jpg" width="93" height="59" alt="Xms Transformation Management System Workbench" border="0" align="middle"></a> <font face="Arial"><strong><small>AN INDUSTRIAL APPROACH TO MIGRATION ISSUES</small></strong></font></p> <p align="left"><small><font face="Arial"><a style="text-decoration: none" href="xms/workbench.htm"><strong>XMS</strong></a> has been developed, refined, and used successfully in our <a href="migration/migration.htm" style="text-decoration: none"><strong>migration</strong></a> contracts involving only a few programs to those involving thousands of programs for business, industry, and government. We have completed million-dollar contracts for a number of the leading <strong>French companies</strong>. Our <a href="experience/experience.htm" style="text-decoration: none"><strong>experience</strong></a> includes most of the hardware produced by the major computer manufacturers, most of the <strong>programming languages</strong> and many <strong>data base management</strong> and <strong>communications systems</strong> including <strong>IBM, MVS, VM, VSE, AS400, AIX, BULL, GCOS, ICL, UNIX, COBOL, PL1, PLI, CPL1, ASSEMBLY, FORTRAN, RPG, GAP, GMAP, SAS, NATURAL, ADL, IDEAL, AIDA, TELON, PACBASE, ARIANE, GENEROL, RAMIS, FOCUS, NOMAD, REXX, EASYTREVE, SYSIF, IMS/DB, DL1, IDS2, IDMS, IDMS/R, DDS, SQL, DB2, PROTEE, QMF, ADABAS, DATACOM, SYSBASE, ORACLE, CA-UNIVERS, IMS/DC, IDMS/DC, DM4TP, TDS, TP8, TCAM, CICS, CA-SCHEDULER, CONTROL-M, OPC, PSS, etc.</strong> Because of its flexibility, <a style="text-decoration: none" href="xms/workbench.htm"><strong>XMS</strong></a> can also accommodate hardware/software combinations not listed including newly developed ones.</font></small></p> <p align="left"><small><font face="Arial"><a style="text-decoration: none" href="xms/workbench.htm"><strong>XMS</strong></a> offers an integrated approach to <strong>convert</strong> existing systems to new environments. The transformation process helps to achieve the needed <strong>changes</strong> in <strong>programming languages, program structures, operating systems, data communications and data management</strong>, while preserving <strong>processing</strong> <strong>logic</strong>. <a style="text-decoration: none" href="xms/workbench.htm"><strong>XMS</strong></a> can pay for itself in savings from the reduction of parallel operation, the avoidance of redundant implementation effort, and the ease of maintaining the transformed programs.Unlike conventional conversion, <a style="text-decoration: none" href="xms/workbench.htm"><strong>XMS</strong></a> has the capability of restructuring and, where necessary, rewriting your existing programs in the way most effective for your new hardware and software configuration. The process combines the speed of <strong>automatic translation</strong> with many of the operational advantages of a custom rewrite. It preserves past accomplishments and adapts old systems to new computer environments.<br> <br> Since <strong>system migration</strong> involves many activities, including <strong>study, planning, data preparation, conversion, migration, testing, and implementation</strong>, a migration project is usually time-consuming and complicated. Transformation Management System's standards and procedures ensure the accuracy of each step and avoid costly rework and unnecessary processing. The result is higher productivity and quality. <a style="text-decoration: none" href="xms/workbench.htm"><strong>XMS</strong></a> also reduces the use of your production resources in the project. Using <strong>special software</strong> and management techniques, it decreases the time needed for <strong>SCHEDULER, JCL</strong>, <strong>PROGRAM, SCREEN, REPORT, FILE </strong>and <strong>DATABASE</strong> conversion. The emphasis on thorough <strong>unit testing</strong> often reduces costly system and <strong>parallel testing</strong> time.</font></small></td> </tr> </table> </center></div><div align="center"><center><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="50%" valign="middle" align="center"><p align="right"><img src="../images/circum.gif" alt="Legacy Migration.
