1 Legacy Systems Modernization Caravel

2 Caravel Technology introduction The BASE 100 team started the reengineering activity more than 15 years ago. Since then, millions of legacy code lines have been modernized, focusing the activity in the IBM midrange and mainframe systems. The BASE100 team has acquired a huge experience, after hundreds of successful projects along the world. All the Caravel proposal, benefit from this experience. During this period, methodology, technology and tools, have been developed, tested and put under continue evolution, conforming the Caravel modernization suite. A clearly structured, highly efficient set, which covers from the first assessment phases to the final Refactoring or Reengineering. A complete set of tools clean, analyze, recover and document structure, logic and functionality. An accurate pseudocode Java generator supports an easy and reliable reengineering processes. Additionally, the Caravel suite includes the capability of Automatic Conversion from RPG or COBOL Legacy Systems, to Java. This feature can be used as a final objective or as an intermediate valuable step in the Reengineering process. Caravel methodology takes account of the inherent risks of any reengineering project, offering the appropriate answer at every stage of the process. Additionally, Caravel relies in the use of advanced tools, to reduce the manual effort, automatizing all the critical processes. Both factors reduce the time and costs, minimizing the risks. As result, Caravel offers a safe and reliable Refactoring and Reengineering way. Legacy Systems Modernization BASE 100, S.A. 2
