US Tax Office Continues Modernization with SoftwareMining

Vital Government Department relies on SoftwareMining Toolset and Services to migrate Legacy Application.

London, England (PRWeb) April 16, 2007 -- SoftwareMining, a leading supplier of Transformation Solutions, announces that its Tools have been successfully used by a US Tax Office in the Automatic Translation of 2 million lines of COBOL code into Java. SoftwareMining's high quality translation approach provides substantial time and cost savings when compared to a manual re-write.



The State Tax Office system was an aging IBM COBOL/DB2 infrastructure. After careful financial and technical consideration they decided that SoftwareMining's Automatic Transformation system would provide them with the high quality of code output they required. The legible and maintainable code produced ensures minimum disruption and thus enables them to provide a smooth transition onto their new platform. This first phase of the project entailed translation, testing and deployment of the on-line modules into legible and maintainable Java.

"The successful transformation of this first critical stage indicates the flexibility and effectiveness of our approach" says Tim Hill, SoftwareMining's Sales Director. "The State Department's commitment to the continuation of this project underlines their confidence in our Tools". SoftwareMining's Tools and Services will be used throughout the transformation process.
