CA IDMS & CA ADS Migrations

Native Technologies / No Emulation

We strongly believe in the importance of providing organizations with solutions to match their applications and infrastructure modernization needs and objectives. Application migration is the first critical step towards achieving this goal and we consequently ensure that migrated applications always utilize technologies that are widely recognized and accepted as native, on the chosen target platform.

This represents a distinct advantage, compared with CA IDMS conversion solutions that merely emulate the source platform technologies on a new platform. Wherever our promise of functional equivalence may dictate the introduction of a component that could be considered as proprietary, we also provide a clearly defined modernization path, to facilitate the elimination of that component altogether.

Wide Choice of Target Technologies

Astadia's CA IDMS migrations offer a wide choice when it comes to mapping source system technologies to the alternatives. We are always looking to implement new options, whether by client request or as part of our ongoing monitoring of popular demand and general trends and developments within the software industry. Astadia also offers Adabas-Natural, COBOL, IBM and BS2000 migration products that provide solutions for the platform specifics, such as printing, security, scheduling & job control, and data files.

Automated Testing

Testing is a major and critical element of any migration project. Our TestMatch product offers  unique features and benefits:

• Avoids the need to manually create test scenarios
• Provides automated recording, replay, and difference analysis
• Limits end-user involvement to acceptance testing
• Can also be used to great effect beyond the migration project
