CA 2E / CA Plex Modernization Roadmap

Overview & Demonstrations

Chicago and Cincinnati, Sept 2010

A Multitude of Ways to Modernize

But fewRIGHT WAYS

The Right WayKnow before you buy

• Effective modernization requires:• High levels of automation, approach 100%

• maintainability by existing staff

• web applications and SOA

• Few get it right

• ADC does• M3 methodology

The M3 WayAutomated modernization with refactoring

• More than a tool – an entire methodology• fast & maintainable

• +multiplatform, +web, +SOA

• Avoid costly risks:• Dual environment web facing / screen scraping

• Keep business logic out of presentation layer

• manual migration (uneven quality, cost, timeframe)

• syntax translators (maintainability, “JOBOL”, runtimes)

• packages (acquisition & customization expense)

• Quick success with minimal investment

• Your developers and users do not require extensive retraining

• The first step on the journey• Exposure to web technology, developers and users

• Start to link 5250 business logic with the rest of the business

• Compatible with next steps on journey

• Code remains in migrate-able 2E logic

• CSS and styles can be reused.
