    Accenture is well suited for undertaking projects that are a bit more complex and complicated. Because of their lineup, they are better suited to tackle those projects. Accenture may not be well suited for support on the basis of cost.

    It is well suited for those legacy applications where the business is not running complex financial applications. It is well suited for transport, retail, insurance, and airlines domain. It's possible to convert these legacy applications into moderns one's. There won't be much impact here. It can be avoided for the financial domain applications as it requires deep study of logic, interfaces and dependencies.

    Cons
    Accenture
    • Accenture may improve on the TAT for project documentation
    • There is some room of improvement in the budget estimation which sometimes is vague. Having said that, they are very competitive in the market.

    • Would not recommend this for complex banking applications.
    • Banking applications and business logic is stringent. Not an easy job to perform without running the test cases for millions of functionality.
    • To get success in transforming the banking applications, Blu Age has to think differently. They need to automate test cases within the tool to know the success rates. Business logic or code might give other results after conversion. Need to look into this aspect too.

    AWS Blu Age has technical team with rich mainframe experience and background. They know what business is expecting and how they going to deliver it. The support team is brilliant and contributes a lot in making decisions. AWS was the pioneer in mainframe migration services and there was no doubt in their offerings. That why we stick to them from the beginning.

    • It definitely saves a lot for the organizations which is paying huge margins to IBM in terms of total cost of ownership.
    • It transforms your application into latest tech where the resource supply is plenty. Resource is easy to find for the support and maintenance activity.
