    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
    Amazon AWS
    • 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.

    Return on Investment

    • 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.
    • Business can run longer without losing the customers.
