Modern Systems Announces Modernization Platform as a Service (ModPaaS™) on Microsoft Azure Marketplace

DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Modern Systems, a leader in application modernization, today announced availability of its new Modernization Platform as a Service (ModPaaS™) on Microsoft Azure Marketplace.

ModPaaS is a cloud-based platform that allows customers and partners to analyze and modernize their legacy application systems in a collaborative manner.

“ModPaaS is truly a unique solution, and Modern System has the expertise and proven track record for managing complex modernization projects,” said Bob Ellsworth, director of Enterprise Modernization at Microsoft.  “By providing ModPaaS on Azure, organizations are able to assess and perform a transformation in a flexible, collaborative manner.”

ModPaaS gives customers access to Modern Systems-developed modernization solutions as a service on Microsoft Azure. It can be used in a self-service manner, with assistance from Modern Systems’ modernization specialists, or in a fully-managed approach similar to traditional project engagements.

With ModPaaS, customers can analyze mainframe legacy code, understand interrelationships, complexity, dependencies and mine business rules-- all essential activities for complex modernization projects.

ModPaaS allows organizations to attain a comprehensive assessment of existing legacy applications. Customers can then categorize objects and applications to determine disposition options and drive ongoing modernization initiatives with varying levels of assistance.

In addition, users can trace and isolate COBOL-based business rules that can be reused for reengineering initiatives.  Customers can then select and extract code for modernization. For example, code can be selected that is specific to the UI layer or data access objects to advance microservices development efforts.

“We are thrilled at the early reception of ModPaaS in the market,” said Brandon Edenfield, president and CEO, Modern Systems.  “By extending ModPaaS to Microsoft Azure, we’re making it accessible to more and more customers, allowing them to be more hands on and collaborative in the modernization process.”
