2005 - Thales - ATM - Modernization

 

"Thales-ATM Selects TSRI to Support European Air Traffic Control System Modernization"

Kirkland, WA. (June 1, 2005) – Thales-ATM based in Paris, France has awarded a contract to The Software Revolution, Inc. (TSRI) for demonstration of an automated approach to the transformation and documentation of the legacy Ada application language in a module of the European Air Traffic Management System into C++ and Java.

Upon completion of this demonstration task, Thales-ATM will evaluate and select which new target language best suits their needs for modernization of the entire system.

Greg Tadlock, TSRI's Vice President, Sales & Marketing said, "TSRI is pleased to be working with Thales-ATM on this important project for the European community. Having successfully transformed Ada many times for U.S.-based firms, TSRI is confident that this demonstration project will eventually lead to TSRI's transformation of the remaining legacy Ada code associated with the larger European Air Traffic Management System. At the same time, this project affords TSRI the opportunity to show that our ever growing business base now includes the international marketplace."

Prior to this upcoming event, we invite you to visit our new web site at www.tsri.com. The site has been significantly upgraded and includes detailed case studies of all our projects.

JANUS Studio®     

 JANUS Studio®       is the most advanced tool framework for software assessment, documentation, transformation, re-factoring and web-enablement anywhere.

Using JANUS Studio®       TSRI offers many services, but the four most unique are our ability to: (1) automatically transform, not just transliterate, a software application written in either a 3GL or 4GL legacy language into modern, platform-independent and true object-oriented target languages; (2) re-factor the transformed code to improve that code's structure, performance and maintainability; (3) generate full UML documentation for both the "As Is" as well as "To Be" systems; and (4) transform monolithic legacy systems into a multi-tiered web-based applications.

2005 - CSC - FAA Modernization

 

"CSC Selects TSRI to Support FAA Modernization"

Kirkland, WA. (January 6, 2005) – Computer Science Corporation (CSC) has awarded The Software Revolution, Inc. (TSRI) an Indefinite Delivery Order/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract to begin the documentation process of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) Enhanced Traffic Management System (ETMS). TSRI’s efforts will ensure that CSC has a detailed understanding of the structure and flow of the ETMS applications code and database prior to making key ETMS modernization decisions.

The FAA’s ETMS is a major system component of the National Airspace System (NAS) and is used to manage the flow of all air traffic. CSC’s contract to modernize portions of the NAS is estimated to be valued at $589 million over the next 7 years. The contract is designed to increase the capacity of the nation’s airspace as well as reduce costs by enabling airlines, research organizations and the FAA to make collaborative decisions that optimize the flow of air traffic and minimize the adverse effects of inclement weather.

Greg Tadlock, TSRI’s Vice President, Sales & Marketing said, “TSRI looks forward to being a long-term support contractor to CSC as it embarks on its efforts to modernize portions of the National Airspace System. This project is a perfect example of where the expertise of CSC and the power of TSRI’s automated legacy system modernization technology can be joined to solve a complex problem that is of vital national importance.”
