Clerity has launched a new Migration and Modernisation Assessment Process (MMAP) for Adabas Natural Environments.

Clerity claims that the new MMAP service helps companies analyse migration options for Software AG environments to understand the total business impact and implementation requirements involved in moving to new platforms and application architectures.

Adabas, Software AG’s database server, has reportedly been used on mainframes and implemented in conjunction with Natural, the company’s programming language.

Clerity said that the new MMAP service is a platform-neutral approach that helps companies consider all business and technology factors influencing a mainframe migration project and reach a business-savvy decision.

According to Clerity, the new MMAP for Adabas Natural Environments joins the company’s portfolio of migration and modernisation services which include comprehensive IT assessments, application database and data migration, legacy modernisation, SOA enablement, infrastructure design, and managed services.

Jeff Hacker, vice president in charge of Adabas Natural Modernisation practice at Clerity, said: “Organisations with Adabas Natural investments may be struggling with whether to retain existing core investments or move to new frameworks such as Java or .NET. The Clerity MMAP takes a large degree of risk out of the decision by fully analysing the business and technical implications of potential migration and modernisation scenarios.”
