Introduction: The Software Revolution, Inc. (TSRI) offers a highly automated, low-cost, and low-risk approach to legacy computer system software modernization. Employing state-of-the-art artificial intelligence-based technologies, our JANUS™ toolset provides a unique capability to assess, document, transform, re-factor, and web-enable legacy computer systems. TSRI can migrate your valuable and often-irreplaceable legacy application software and database to a modern, platform-independent computing environment without the need for manual intervention.

TSRI's processes allow you to:

• Reduce your maintenance cost by eliminating the need for mainframe computers and the extensive manpower used in their care and feeding.
• Improve your e-commerce or e-warfare environment by leveraging your legacy system's unique functionality in a new computing environment.
• Increase your information system's operational efficiencies and flexibility in that new environment.

TSRI's automated approach also allows you to avoid the expensive, failure prone and high-risk options associated with:

• New system development
• Manual re-write of your existing system
• Replacement of your legacy system with a commercial-off-the-shelf product that has limited applicable functionality
• System re-host of the legacy software on a new computing platform

Approach: TSRI's approach to system modernization permits gradual integrated steps along the transitional pathway, with all steps costing a fraction of the other available methods and taking dramatically less time to accomplish. Each step up the "pyramid of automated technology" includes valuable information to support your modernization processes and decisions.

Step 1 - Assessment & Documentation: TSRI captures and documents your legacy system's "As Is" state, providing a detailed evaluation your existing system's design. This step also helps identify the baseline metrics that will support the transformation business case.

Step 2- Transformation: TSRI rewrites the legacy code into object-oriented code (C++, Java, C#, etc.) and couples that code to relational or object-oriented databases, while accurately ensuring the conversion of all system internal and external interfaces. To address a legacy language or database structure that is new to TSRI often requires no more than a few weeks to accomplish.

Step 3 - Re-Factoring: TSRI re-engineers the resulting target language and components to improve the system's structure, performance and maintainability. Re-Factoring includes:

• Automatic Re-Factoring: The removal of dead and redundant code without changing a system's functionality.
• Semi-Automatic Re-Factoring: The identification of situations within the code where customer-provided Domain Experts could opt to make engineering changes to the system.

Step 4 - Web Enablement: TSRI transforms the legacy applications into the requisite language to take advantage of J2EE. .Net, or CORBA components, while the derived components are segregated to operate on the client or server-side of the application.
