Newsletter December 2021
Newsletter - Thursday, 16th December 2021
Dear Reader,
Almost 50 years ago, the computer scientist Dr. Reinhold Thurner presented the first ideas for the automation of application development using software generators. This resulted in one of the most successful tools for the generative development of COBOL and PL/I applications: Delta ADS. We're proud to be celebrating Delta ADS's 45th anniversary this year.
The fact that ideas, concepts, tools and applications often prove themselves sustainable much longer than expected not only applies for Delta ADS. Many large, complex and mission-critical applications that have grown over decades constitute the core of our customers' successful business operations.
Find out today how you can automatically recover the knowledge about these applications with AMELIO Logic Discovery.
At the SVA Mainframe Days, we recently presented how technologies in such complex applications can be replaced automatically and in parallel with ongoing operations.
We are curious: What is your dream environment for ADS, COBOL and PL/I?
We hope you enjoy reading,
Your Delta Software Technology Team

45 Years Delta ADS
Delta ADS celebrates its 45th anniversary!
"I am pleased that after almost 50 years, Delta ADS
is still being used successfully for the development
and migration of large and complex applications.",
says Dr. Reinhold Thurner, the „father of Delta ADS“.
We have summarized for you how Delta ADS has evolved over the past 45 years, why it has been and still is so successfull.
Find out what advantages Delta ADS offers you for your future application development.

The Best Environment for Your Application Development
Innovating, implementing better solutions, finding errors faster, getting more value out of what you have:
All this requires a working environment that supports you in your daily work and that you feel comfortable with.
Do you or your teams develop applications with Delta ADS? In COBOL? In PL/I?
We would like to know from you which development environment do you prefer?Which one do you use and which one would you like?
Thank you for participating in our quick survey.
AMELIO Logic Discovery - 'Nicholas'-Release
On 06.12.2021 we have released a new release of AMELIO Logic Discovery.
The new query technology expands the KnowledgeBase perspective and provides you with exactly the modules that are relevant for your task. In addition to the ready-made queries, you can now easily define your own queries with the query builder.
Do you want to (re)understand your applications, carry out a migration or modernization project?
Or free your applications from technical debt?
AMELIO Logic Discovery helps you and automatically provides you with all the information you need.

SVA Mainframe Dayz 2021
On 09.11.2021 we were present at the SVA Mainframe Dayz digITall!
Delta Software Technology participated with a presentation "Application modernization according to your requirements, parallel to the ongoing operation". Dr. Daniela Schilling exemplified a large-scale mainframe project to show how you can safely and reliably carry out a complex modernization of your applications in parallel with ongoing operations.

Newsletter - Tuesday, 29th June 2021
Dear Reader,
When you think about modernising your central IT applications, do you already have a solution for the following problems:
- How can technical debts be safely eliminated or how can you modernise your applications without accumulating new technical debts?
- How do you get a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the current implementation of the applications?
Read on to learn about how your colleagues in other companies solve these problems.
We also have new versions of our products AMELIO Logic Discovery and ADS. Plan the update of your installation with us now.
We wish you an inspiring read.

RDW uses AMELIO Logic Discovery for decision-making
Existing applications have accumulated a lot of technical debt over the years. Removing it could speed up maintenance significantly. In reality the task of improve the software by removing the obsolete parts is seldom performed. The risk of introducing errors and the cost of testing is the biggest reason for not doing anything.
RDW wants to reduce technical debt in its decennia old applications with AMELIO Logic Discovery. Goal is to improve flexibility and make them fit for the future. RDW also profits from the new features in release 2.0.

Large Financial Service Provider Succeeds in Secure Platform Change with AMELIO
Away from the Mainframe at the Push of a Button: Delta’s AMELIO Modernization Platform Enables Large Building Society to Replace Platforms Securely
A leading building society consolidates its platforms and has therefore replaced their IBM mainframe with Red Hat Linux. The migration of the central, strongly interconnected applications, however, involved particular risks, e.g., due to parallel changes and further development. Also, the performance in the new environment was a major concern. With the AMELIO tools from Delta Software Technology, this company successfully migrated its highly critical core application.
The project management particularly praised the good cooperation with the manufacturer. Delta offered the project at a fixed price and was nevertheless very flexible in responding to special requests. Due to the good cooperation with Delta, the transformed application exactly meets the company's requirements.
