Dear Reader,
Do you actually know exactly what your core applications do and how? Is the existing knowledge sufficient for secure and efficient maintenance and further development? Do you feel well equipped for modernization or replacement? No? Then we have solutions for you.
AMELIO Logic Discovery helps you to (re)understand your applications, to pass on knowledge about the applications from one generation of developers to the next and to prepare and successfully implement clean-up, modernization or replacement projects. In the second part of our webinar series “Icebergs ahead!”, we presented knowledge recovery with AMELIO Logic Discovery. At the SVA Mainframe Dayz we will also introduce you to AMELIO Logic Discovery according to the motto “When the English dictionary is not enough - understanding COBOL applications”.
You can refresh and expand your knowledge of the technology with our Delta ADS training courses.
We also invite you to join us for the next part of our webinar series on automated application clean-up.
We hope you enjoy reading.

Part 2 from January 29th, 2025
Our second webinar 'ICEBERGS AHEAD: DISCOVER – (re)understand applications' took place on January 29th, 2025.
To circumnavigate icebergs, you have to know where they are. The same goes for modernizing applications. For a safe modernization, knowledge about the application is a key factor. You must recognize the following situation: the programmers that originally wrote the COBOL and PL/I applications are not available anymore. The successors, new team or external service providers are responsible for maintenance, modernization or re-implementation. But questions about the legacy applications are often answered with just shrugs.
Icebergs are not depicted on maps and using a pair of binoculars only makes the 10% above the surface visible. Therefor radar and sonar are needed to safely bypass them. To understand application more than just the documentation is needed. In our webinar we have demonstrated, how AMELIO Logic Discovery regains such knowledge from the program sources in an automated process.

Dear Reader,
Do you also have applications that actually exactly implement your company processes, but which nevertheless increasingly feel like a brake block?
These applications have often been in use for decades and are constantly being expanded and adapted to new requirements. However, the readability, maintainability and flexibility of the applications have diminished. Throwing them away and rewriting are no options, the effort and risks are far too high. That's why our AMELIO product family helps you to automatically analyse, clean up and modernise your applications. In part 3 of our article series ‘4 important steps for sustainable software modernisation’, we introduce you to our software washing machine.
We also invite you to the 1st part of our webinar series ‘Icebergs ahead - mastering modernisation with ease’. In it, we will discuss with you the hurdles, procedures and solutions for various modernisation projects.
Our CEO, Dr Daniela Schilling, shared our experiences with mainframes and legacy applications in the podcast ‘Mainframe - What the Heck’. Listen in.
For our Delta ADS users, we also have our support news and the opportunity to watch our Delta ADS webinar to learn more about all the new features.
We hope you enjoy reading.

Mainframe – What the Heck?
“The mainframe is dead - long live the mainframe! Hardly any other technology is being consigned to the IT graveyard while at the same time is driving our lives every day: whether we are withdrawing money from an ATM, booking a trip, concluding an insurance or building our new high-tech car. The mainframe is therefore a vital element of our daily lives and of paramount importance for the global economy. In this podcast, Heidi Schmidt (PKS Software GmbH) and Tobias Leicher (IBM Deutschland GmbH) provide answers to hypes, myths and current trends on this platform. There are user talks from real everyday project work in mainframe transformation as well as discussions with experts. The podcast clarifies and provides a basis for decision-making. Listen in and be informed, entertained and inspired.”
