SOFT-MAINT can help you replace COOL:Gen:

• Eliminate the maintenance costs and standardize the IS
• Simplify the business needs evolution cycle
• Preserve the legacy applications and improve the return on investment (ROI)

What are the principal problems faced with COOL:Gen applications?

The applications developed with the CASE tool COOL:Gen (also known under the name Advantage Gen) generate COBOL or C++ code requiring run-time modules to be able to execute correctly. The costs for licenses and maintenance of the run-time have become prohibitive.
In addition to that, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find and/or recruit competent COOL:Gen resources on the open market.
It is for these reasons that enterprises using this technology are today seeking to replace it.

FAST for COOL:Gen: the solution for moving to JEE and/or COBOL

The SOFT-MAINT solution is based on a proven, tooled approach:

• Preliminary study of the architecture evolution project
  • Detailed report
  • Migration plan
• Two exclusive types of project
  • Iso-functional migration of the legacy application – Batch and MMI
  • Re-engineering of the legacy application and integration of new functionality
• Significant reductions in the cost and timescales for the migration
