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)
