Re-Engineering
|
Consider any technology product that has served you well. You use it
regularly, but it's getting old. It breaks too often, takes longer
to repair than you'd like, and no longer represents the newest
technology. What to do?
If the product is hardware, you'll likely throw it away and buy a
newer model.
But if it's custom-built software, that option may not be available.
You'll need to rebuilt it. You'll create a product with added
functionality, better performance and reliability, and improved
maintainability.
That's what we call reengineering.

Over the years, organizations have acquired a complex network of legacy applications. Sometimes these legacy applications co-exist with
separately-developed applications using more recent technologies. Running such a setup can be a big drain on resources. These resources could be made available for more critical requirements, achieve greater efficiencies and derive more value from their existing applications by consolidating applications on fewer platforms using technologies that are more in step with business requirements. They can do all this by lowering the cost of applications ownership.
URL’s re-engineering and migration service helps organizations to consolidate on fewer platforms and integrate applications more effectively. This may involve migrations across platforms, databases and operating systems. URL can also re-engineer your applications in response to changes in regulations or other environmental factors.
URL uses a tool-based approach to reengineering and migration projects. URL has experience with a variety of tools to support specific re-engineering activities. Tools are either sourced off-the shelf or built in-house. Well defined methodologies integrate the use of tools to automate re-engineering tasks such as transformation and testing leads to faster delivery schedules and greater accuracy.
Our professionals are experienced in a variety of technologies and are generally multiply skilled to be immediately deployed on cross-platform re-engineering and migration projects. The expertise of our consultants extends from languages and environmental knowledge of legacy platforms including IBM, Unisys to more recent technologies such as client server, object oriented and web technologies.
