A new agreement between Havenshire Limited and USA-based
ioSemantics LLC makes Havenshire the only firm outside North
America that is offering ioLogex™. This new technology
developed by ioSemantics automatically analyses, documents, and
most importantly converts legacy software into clean well
structured new software in the language of choice.
The result is more than easier and cheaper to maintain. After
conversion, the software can be enhanced faster and at lower cost,
allowing the customer to respond more readily to market changes. It
also smooths migration to more modern computing platforms.
A current project in the States is migrating 750,000 lines of
heavily patched, poorly documented COBOL to properly structured,
fully documented Java. Traditional methods and tools would require
a team of highly skilled analysts for several months and would be
likely to overlook some details of the work being done by the
legacy system. With ioLogex™, analysis began in
September and conversion will be complete before December. Because
it is automated, no functionality is accidentally omitted.
Havenshire and ioSemantics will deliver services to UK clients
in concert for a seamless combination of ioSemantics' breakthrough
analysis, conversion and migration services with Havenshire's
consulting and technical services.
Bonnie Huval, Director of Havenshire, commented, "Compared with
existing technology for legacy software modernization and related
purposes, ioSemantics offers a demonstrably superior value
proposition for our clients. Cost, flexibility and speed of
delivery are excellent. We always insist upon delivering top
quality, and so does ioSemantics. We look forward to introducing
this innovative service to our clients to address substantial and
pressing business needs."
Steve Bucuvalas, CEO of ioSemantics, commented, "We are excited
to establish a marketing partnership with Havenshire Limited. We
are impressed with the technical experience, market knowledge and
track record of the principals of Havenshire Limited and we look
forward to applying our technology and expertise to their client
base."
