Big companies are finding their CA Gen formerly AllFusion® Gen, Coolgen, COOL:Gen®) applications to be very expensive to maintain. License fees continue to increase, programmers with CA Gen expertise are difficult to find, and the generated applications are encumbered with a proprietary runtime.

Today’s IT organizations are standardizing on more open environments such as Java, C# and COBOL to reduce maintenance costs and make enhancing the application easier. Since CA Gen generated applications require a proprietary runtime and must be maintained within the CA Gen environment (Workbench), organizations are looking to eliminate the risk associated with applications created in CA Gen and consider a CA Gen migration, more often referred to as a Coolgen migration.

BluePhoenix’s Coolgen migration solution replaces legacy Coolgen applications with clean, easy-to-read Java, C# or COBOL applications that require no runtime.

For IT organizations wanting to maintain their applications in open, standard environments, a Coolgen migration to native Java, a Coolgen migration to C# or a Coolgen migration to COBOL will result in enormous cost savings over the life of an application. 

Business Benefits

• Save in maintenance fees (no runtime modules)
• Eliminate skill reliance on a diminishing resource pool
• Modernize technology that makes enhancing the application easier

Technical Benefits

• Easy to maintain migrated code
• No loss in functionality, all copybooks, APIs, and program calls are intact
• Typically a 30–40% reduction in the size of the code
• Customized migration according to the company’s standards
