Anubex accelerates IDMS migration
Anubex accelerates IDMS migration of large Dutch asset management firm
Anubex, leader in automated application modernisation solutions, has won a contract to perform the cross-platform migration of an IDMS database for a large Dutch asset management firm. The project involves the conversion, migration, and modernisation of one of their legacy applications.
Using the tools of Anubex, the asset management firm will migrate the 200 GB of production data residing in its current IDMS database to a new SQL Server RDBMS in a window of twelve hours max. Anubex will assure the technical precision of the cross-platform migration and perform the preliminary data processing. Afterwards, a systems integrator will perform further domain-specific processing of the data to load it into a new application.
The asset management firm made the decision last year to upgrade its existing banking applications to modernised technology. The current applications use IDMS technology for database and online transaction management, and run on an IBM mainframe. IDMS was especially popular in the 70s and 80s because of the flexibility it afforded database administrators and reliability to which it scaled to many thousands of concurrent users. Now these databases have largely been rendered obsolete by relational database management systems and IDMS is no longer well-suited to fulfil the interoperability and maintenance needs of a modern IT department.
The Belgian company Anubex has developed specific methods and technologies to migrate IDMS applications to modern systems. "Our tools automate all of the processes necessary to extract data from IDMS, transform it to a relational model, and load it into RDBMS products like SQL Server. Anubex techniques make it possible for companies to migrate even core business applications with limited to no business disruption at all," says Louis Heymans, Managing Director of Anubex. Recently, the Belgian company has completed similar migrations for Ford Motor Company, DnB NOR, the French Ministry of Finance, and the Spanish Banca March.
