A Method for 100% success

Initial project setup contains an in-depth analysis of the source environment and its special qualities, selection of different target conversion components, evaluation of feasibility and assembly of findings into an optimal project plan. A close co-operation with the customers experts and managers assures the commitment and approval by the customer of the project design.

The subsequent implementation phase makes use of the best tools and highly qualified experts to build the automation utilities that will make the actual conversion short, accurate and efficient. After integration of the different converted systems in the target environment, applications are ready for testing.

ViaNova stands out from other approaches in that it supports the following flexibility enhancements:

• Partial conversions can be done in parallel: for optimal flexibility, applications can be subdivided in smaller chunks and converted simultaneously with respect for their inter-dependencies.

• Since the actual translation takes a minimal amount of time, conversions can be done repeatedly to account for design changes, last-minute discoveries or to simply iron out undocumented difficulties. There is no overhead for performing iterative conversions.

Technology assists from start to finish

To perform accurate analysis, conversion, documentation and testing, ViaNova makes use of advanced tools and technologies. These include the following:

• re•Source aids in analyzing, structuring and defining the source environment and assists during the whole of the migration process.
• Steno is Ordina Denkart's expert system for building highly intelligent and automated conversion tools.
• Various custom-designed cross-compilers and emulators perform specific tasks with maximum precision.
• Subsystem tools like Wingspan offer interface emulation and test automation services

When tuned and operated by Ordina Denkart's migration experts, these tools succeed in considerably reducing the amount of the manual work that would otherwise be needed to reach the project goals. In addition to this, they increase accuracy on all tasks and perform with unbeatable speed.

ViaNova is optimized for efficiency

The use of the ViaNova methodology and automated tools, combined with Ordina Denkart's expertise means three things:

1. Reduced costs for new IT environments
2. Shorter project delays
3. Less risk
