Preparing mainframe applications for cloud migration and replacing CA-View and CA Deliver software with LRS.

Pain / Impact

The company planned to use Micro Focus® replatforming solution to reuse proven mainframe application code in the cloud environment:

• Mainframe Output facilities (e.g., JES Spool) not available in cloud
• Need to migrate many years’ worth of archived business documents
• Desire to reduce exposure to CA (Broadcom) related upgrade fees

Solution

LRS implemented its flagship VPS® family of products for the IBM Z® platform, data transforms, VPSX®, and PageCenterX® solutions 

• Proven LRS® mainframe output management solutions to ensure seamless, continued delivery of critical application output into new PCX archive
• Certified VPSX/MFI interface with Micro Focus modernization platform to streamline migration to cloud environment
• PageCenterX® software to serve as archive of record for both historical and newly-created business documents going forward

Outcome

• Positioned customer for future cloud migration of critical applications
• Maintained compliance with document retention requirements
• Eliminated exposure to high Broadcom upgrade fees for legacy CA View/Deliver licenses
