Industrialization of third party application maintenance

Issues

Maintaining an IT infrastructure is an on-going and costly process which you have to improve to offer users as many services as possible.

You need to carry out significant upgrades to streamline your system, implement new features and provide corrective maintenance in a quick and reliable way.

Our analysis and transformation tools will allow you to optimize these operations throughout the process, from getting accustomed to the system to non-regression tests as well as the impact of an upgrade to regression testing and measurements of the impact of an evolution.

Our suite also delivers automated mass processing.

Our Offer

We use our Recode-Workbench suite which analyses, transforms and assesses the system with a high automation level.

  • We deliver IT solutions
  • Provide technical support
  • With a commitment to result

Our Tools

Our maintenance approach is based on our data mapping and maintenance suites.

As operations are automated, you can quickly get a bird’s-eye view of your applications and have technical and functional reference documents available.

  • Analysis of the technical components of your system: JCL, programmes, files, bases…
  • Analysis of the data used by the programmes
  • Functional analysis

The results help you create or update the necessary documentation to maintain your applications.

 

On a daily basis, maintenance operations are facilitated and secured by our workshops which ensure in particular:

Make maintenance easy and control operations with our suites. They:

  • Analyze dependencies to help diagnose problems in the production environment
  • Analyze the impacts of potential upgrades to monitor and control regression testing and avoid side effects
  • Carry out a semantic analysis of data and variables used
  • Generate regression testing processes
  • Generate technical documentation
  • Convert code automatically in the case of heavy maintenance
  • Analyze the quality of the code to improve global quality
  • Offer a graphical interface to browse objects according to their dependencies and impacts detected.

All of these functions enable maintenance teams to achieve significant productivity gains and secure service quality.

Applications

  • Corrective maintenance and upgrades
