Customized, Automated Conversion of
Assembler, PL/I, COBOL, DYL & More

Don’t let legacy languages lock you in

One of the biggest obstacles to migrating mainframe applications is the programming languages that they are written in. Languages such as Assembler are completely chained to the mainframe environment. Languages such as PL/I and DYL280 are no longer mainstream and have a dwindling base of programming talent. Even more popular languages such as COBOL typically require modification when moving to another hardware platform.

Datatek's customized automated language conversion services can free your business from Mainframe Language Lock-in. We have successfullly converted over 50 million of lines of legacy language code - giving our clients the benefit of retaining the financial and manpower investments that they have made to their business logic over the years. For example, one client whose PL/I application suite Datatek migrated over 15 years ago is still using the converted code in production today! Now, that's a REAL return on investment!

Whether you are looking to only consolidate languages on the mainframe (such as Assembler to COBOL) or looking for a full system migration (languages, databases, ...), Datatek's automated migration services provide cost-efficient, lower-risk, and maintainable solutions to the problem of mainframe lock-in.
