• Lecture on WSRE: Analysing a Big Ball of Mud

  The original design of an application is often lost over the decades, resulting in a "big ball of mud." Such applications are difficult to maintain and even harder to modernize. With AMELIO Logic Discovery, you can analyze applications and prepare cleanup and modernization projects.

  How? We presented and summarized this for you at the workshop "Software Reengineering and Evolution (WSRE) of the GI Software Reengineering (SRE) specialist group".

• Successfull Webinar Series: 'ICEBERGS AHEAD: Discover - CleanUp - Modernize' completed

  The final part of our webinar series, titled "Modernize - Make Applications future-proof!," took place.

  In the first part of the series, we introduced you to the basic concept of our best-of-breed solution AMELIO DISCOVER - CLEAN UP - MODERNIZE.

  The second part then focused on AMELIO DISCOVER. DISCOVER showed you how to re-understand "old" applications, recover content within them, abstract complex program structures, and much more.

  Then, in Webinar #3, the major topic of AMELIO CleanUp came up. We discovered that clean-up is much more than just finding dead code. We provided you with a variety of practical options for cleaning up legacy applications and more in advance of the actual modernization. The keyword here is "washing machine".

  And finally, part 4 of the webinar series, the topic of AMELIO MODERNIZE, came up.

• IBM Z Symposium 2025 from 14.-15. May 2025 in Stuttgart

  This year, we were again actively involved in the IBM Z symposium in Stuttgart at the MHP Arena for two days. It was packed with exciting presentations on AI, CyberVault, z/OS, DevOps, and security. We happily accepted IBM's invitation, to participate in the panel discussion on the topic "application modernization". Moderated by Tobias Leicher (IBM), Heidi Schmidt (PKS), Frank Hammer (Kyndryl), and Manuel Dolle (Delta Software) discussed the current state of affairs. The modernization topic was regarded from an economic, advisory and technical perspective and lots of expertise and knowledge has been shared. The conclusion: It's time to analyze and clean up applications to increase maintenance efficiency, save costs, and make the transition to legacy systems for the next generation much more easier.

  Many thanks to IBM for this great event and the opportunity to actively participate.
  

• RDW modernizes its development pipeline for Delta ADS

  Legacy applications not only have old technology, often they also are maintained with legacy development processes.

  After successfully migrating their mainframe application portfolio to a windows environment, RDW decided to bring their development process completely under Visual Studio.

  Delta Software Technology provided RDW with a plugin for Delta ADS on Visual Studio to support RDW’s hybrid strategy where runtime environment consists of Delta ADS COBOL modules and C# modules. Together they provide the necessary business functionality.
