Unisys Mainframe Migration

Maintaining Unisys mainframes can drain your budget and limit your company’s growth. At one point, Unisys mainframes were the leading standard in reliability, availability and security. But with the constant ripples of disruptive technology, this is no longer the case. In fact, today’s cloud-based platforms have surpassed it in terms of flexibility, efficiency and innovation.

Unisys mainframe migration is on the rise and the benefits of migrating to newer platforms are significant.

• Reduced costs and transformation of your cost model
• Increased agility allowing for more rapid app development and deployment
• Increased rates of return
• Improvement of availability to support rapidly changing business needs
• With the more modern languages of these new platforms, you get access to a larger talent pool of qualified job candidates

The Unisys Mainframe Migration Process

Many of the Unisys mainframe systems are old and outdated—developed long ago by developers who coded systems with outdated languages including Sperry MAPPER, Burroughs LINC or COBOL. Companies that are still trying to maintain their existing legacy platform, face challenges when looking for this aging expertise—especially since many developers proficient in those languages have retired or are near retirement.

Another challenge is that a lot of these mainframes are being used for critical operations within health insurance, financial services or other data-intensive government operations, which poses a severe risk. These organizations would take a devastating hit if they were to lose legacy data, thus interrupting profitable services.

Astadia can help you assess your current application inventory through a deliberate application rationalization process that will help you decide which apps to migrate and in what order.

• Gather detailed technical data about your environment
• Develop a project plan, including the scope of the Legacy Modernization and management of security-related issues
• Assign staff from both companies to manage the project
• Set processes, deliverables and timelines
• Deliver a preliminary package to help you prepare for the project
• Meet with you on a regular basis to discuss the project status
• Present final project results to you
• Project concludes and we discuss next steps
