Ways of Software Modernization with Consist

Consist uses a proven methodology for the modernization of legacy systems and their embedding into modern architectures, providing a solid frame for an evolutionary and successful implementation.
Basically the process is divided into the two main phases

• Development of the concept
• implementation.

Thus our customers can control the process before implementation, based on the result of the conceptual phase, ensuring project success through early agreement on the concept.

Both phases are usually offered independently.

Our comprehensive experience with individual software enables us to find the most suitable solution, depending on your individual targets, i.e.

• Introduction of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) / Enterprise Service Arch. (ESA)
• Migrations and portations
  • Swith of system platforms, i.e. from mainframe to Unix systems
  • Databases, i.e. from Adabas to Oracle
  • Development environments / languages, i.e. Natural to Cobol or Java
• Upgrade of the user interface, i.e extension by a browser interface or a GUIfication (rich/fat client)
• Modernization of the development tools, i.e. introduction of a model driven architecture
