Overall Satisfaction with Mainframe Modernization with AWS (Blu Age)

We used the Blu Age services to migrate our legacy COBOL applications to cloud using AWS.
It creates modern applications from legacy applications. It transforms the code and the database into latest modern framework.
There seems to be lot of potential in this requirement as many organisations wants to leave legacy applications and dependencies and transform the existing applications into modern framework and interfaces where there will be enough resource talent.
  • Convert the application code into new programming language
  • Converts the legacy databases into modern one.
  • Automated the process of doing the complex migration
  • Budget friendly process
  • Deployment is done in quick manner using devops pipeline.
  • Transforms the entire application into user friendly interface
  • 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.
  • Automated process of conversion
  • Low failure rate
  • Budget friendly
  • Can run the mainframe workloads in the cloud
  • Partnership with IBM for the flawless migration to 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.
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 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.
