    Using RPA to migrate a Mainframe App to AWS Cloud in two minutes

    Blurr is the fastest Autobot on the planet. We toyed (pun intended) with the idea of labeling Heirloom Computing’s use of robotic process automation (RPA) under the Blurr moniker but decided (sensibly, I think) that it would dilute our existing branding. Nonetheless, with a nod to the descendent of a Cybertronic racehorse, we’re excited to present what... more

    Breaking the Monolith: Creating Serverless Functions (Microservices) from an IBM Mainframe Application (Done In 60 Seconds)

    Square Pegs in Round Holes I understand; you may already be skeptical. The application modernization arena has not done itself any favors with years of vendor misdirection and misleading claims (permeating from whitepapers and glossy write-ups that attempt to recast tired proprietary technology as modern & relevant — square pegs in round holes). We encounter... more

    Old Code is NOT Bad Code

    Voyager 1 fires thrusters for the first time in 37 years. Running a proprietary assembler program written over 40 years ago, engineers at NASA were able to use the Voyager’s thrusters to replace the altitude correction engine that had degraded over the last 40 years. This extends the lifetime of the voyager 1 probe for... more

    CI/CD with COBOL and CICS

    Introduction Reading about Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), unit testing, etc., all seem a million miles away from daily life on the Mainframe. In fact, there is a basic question to be answered for all projects, “Why do we need to do continuous integration?”. Agile guru Martin Fowler puts it best (he usually does) when he... more

    Mainframe Migration? Why?

    This article investigates why organizations should consider Mainframe Migration, the migration options they have, and the steps they need to take to transform their mainframe workloads to run on the cloud. Let’s set the scene a little bit for a typical large organization that runs business-critical applications on the mainframe. Your mainframe and your mainframe applications... more

    COBOL/CICS Hooks Up With Pivotal Cloud Foundry

    Would you be skeptical of a claim from a vendor that stated you can take existing mainframe workloads (online and batch), and automatically transform them (with 100% accuracy) into instantly agile Java applications that can immediately be deployed to the cloud? You wouldn’t be alone. For many of our initial client meetings, there’s a palpable... more

    Amazon Alexa Hooks Up With COBOL/CICS (On The Cloud)

    Gary Crook, President & CEO There’s a lot of chatter about how to make mainframe workloads agile. I have contributed to that chatter myself. The discourse is essential. Boiled down, my assertion is that the mainframe ecosystem is foundationally not agile (and never will be). No amount of DevOps tooling or vendor misdirection is going... more

    COBOL & The Definitive State of the World’s Greatest Legacy Ecosystem

    So, a heads-up… this article is going to be self-serving (at least to start with, perhaps longer), as I’ve come to the conclusion that it is necessary for me to “introduce” myself in an attempt to establish a greater level of credibility than I might otherwise be able to muster! I’ve been working for over... more

    Moving Beyond COBOL

    Gary Crook, President & CEO I’ve been involved with COBOL for most of my professional career. It is a language that has many unique characteristics, not all positive. Loved by few and (unfairly) vilified by many, it has persisted because it is extremely good at what it was built for — encapsulating business rules. Many... more

    Gary Crook, President & CEO Not 3 words you’d immediately assemble together, but that’s exactly what Senior ComputerWorld Editor, Patrick Thibodeau, did yesterday. His article was prompted by a White House announcement of an “Office of American Innovation” to oversee the modernization of federal IT. The article then goes on to give Compuware a platform... more
