    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.

    If you have lots of audits and you need a license for every auditee, it will cost you a lot. It was good software maybe ten years ago, but it became outdated. Nowadays, there are many web applications using bootstrap to be responsive, and they should renew their software to be competitive.

    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.

    The support it's remote, and it's awful, they have lots of errors when updating because of the old software they use. It's only available in English (we need Spanish), and they seem not to care about the client and their particular needs. For the cost, it represents I think it's not worthy.

    Alternatives Considered
    Amazon AWS
    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.

    Return on Investment
    Amazon AWS
    • 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.
