TSRI adapted its industry-leading modernization capabilities to the unique Pitney Bowes Visual Basic 6 (VB6) code constructs for a successful automatic modernization of over 443,000 lines of VB6 code and over 450,000 lines of XML meta-data to modern C# .NET Core coming in well within budget and completing the transformation earlier than scheduled.

Additionally, TSRI’s partner, Accenture, had the opportunity to manually rewrite the user interfaces for the application, to achieve a modern and user-friendly experience, while TSRI simultaneously completed the automated transformation of the application code and database written in VB6. As a result, the application achieved total functional equivalence while the look and feel of the front end was greatly improved.

Educational Testing Service (ETS) is the world's largest private educational testing and measurement organization. Each year, they develop, administer,  and score more than 50 million tests, including the TOEFL®, TOEIC®, GRE®, and Praxis® tests, in more than 180 countries. This requires an enormous data management capability. ETS turned to TSRI to transform their ECT and Praxis applications and databases from IBM job control language (JCL) and COBOL Batch to modern Java SE 17 in a cloud-native optimized AWS environment. To do this, they used a spring boot-type application to implement web services invoked by Python. TSRI also converted the IBM DB2 database and VSAM sequential database files to a relational PostgreSQL database on AWS Aurora.

CRA and AWS engaged with TSRI to complete the modernization of their COBOL-based system to Java on AWS. To Achieve CRA's goals, TSRI tuned JANUS Studio® to parse, transform, document, and refactor the IBM z/OS COBOL application. In just 1.5 months, TSRI modernized the application from an IBM Mainframe COBOL and CICS monolith to a modern multi-tier architecture in Java on the AWS cloud. Just as important, TSRI also converted the DB2 database and VSAM sequential files to a relational PostgreSQL database on AWS Aurora.

The Pitney Bowes Postage Payment Application had been running COBOL for decades on an HP NonStop Tandem mainframe, however, to seize the opportunities of the digital cloud age and to reduce overall technical debt, Pitney Bowes needed to modernize the Tandem COBOL to C# .NET Core. Just as important as the code, the HP NonStop Tandem database needed to also be migrated to a modern Microsoft SQL Server database and deployed to AWS. TSRI successfully transformed the application at 99.96% automation, and deployed the modernized application on the AWS cloud.

AEGIS is a ship-based combat system capable of simultaneous operations against a multi-mission threat: anti-air, anti-surface, and anti-submarine warfare. TSRI was contracted to model and build application blueprints for the Aegis ACB-08 Ada and C++ software system.

Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMCO) was tasked with a modernization project involving two systems, MEMSIZE and NEWSCAN. The first system contained 3,096 LOC and the latter contained 9,674 LOC, all Fortran 77. Lockheed Martin selected TSRI to modernize these systems into C++ using its automated toolset, JANUS Studio®.

L-3 Communications Corporation awarded a sole-source contract to TSRI for modernization of the the U.S. Army’s Variable Message Format Test Tool (VTT).

MILSTAR (Military Strategic & Tactical Relay) is the tactical and strategic multiservice satellite system designed to provide survivable communications for U.S. forces worldwide. The system needed to achieve higher data-rate modes than the low and medium-data-rate modes of the older generation MILSTAR satellites which were written in J3 JOVIAL software technology. This required the JOVIAL code to be modernized, which enabled the system's operation on newer hardware with simplified maintenance.
