FNTS + TSRI Partner to Optimize & Modernize Mainframes
Empowering Enterprise Organizations to Greatly Reduce
Total Cost of Ownership & Unlock Rapid Innovation
Mainframe operations and maintenance expenses, i.e., system Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), are the fastest-growing IT expenses for enterprise organizations. Many of these systems house decades of technical debt alongside the organization’s critical data and business rules. Today’s technological advances, including artificial intelligence (AI), disaster recovery, and real-time data analytics, far outpace the capabilities of these increasingly fragile legacy systems, which stifle an organization's ability to innovate and meet customer expectations. In addition, the tight labor force and significant gaps in skills challenge organizations to support these mission-critical systems. IT managed services provider FNTS is launching a new partnership with software modernization services provider TSRI, empowering organizations to embrace their digital future through Mainframe Optimization.
FNTS and TSRI have decades of mainframe expertise and have helped many organizations move workloads to an environment that achieves greater value from their longstanding IT investments—whether that means staying on the legacy mainframe or moving to a contemporary cloud or hybrid computing environment.
“While the mainframe is a platform of choice for enterprises that rely on computing power and stability, its legacy technology and software requirements are complex and expensive for organizations to maintain without the latest technologies or skilled staffing in place,” said FNTS President Kim Whittaker. “When it comes to Mainframe Optimization at FNTS, no mainframe is too big, no environment is too complex, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. We can support any path to optimization and modernization.”
FNTS and TSRI work together to assess and optimize mainframe environments for the customer’s best outcome, whether that’s simply rehosting or fully modernizing and replatforming the data and workloads simultaneously or in phases. With this strategic roadmap, the FNTS and TSRI team can continuously execute modernization priorities, empowering organizations with the competitive agility to meet end-customer demands and substantially grow their business.
Rehost through Mainframe-as-a-Service
Organizations can leverage their legacy mainframe with a Mainframe-as-a-Service offering. Like a standard “lift-and-shift migration,” this approach optimizes and migrates current workloads to a cloud-like environment on the mainframe or FNTS’s onsite data centers. Rehosting doesn’t require code changes and ensures existing mainframe data is managed and fully available, making this a feasible option for some applications long-term, or an attractive first step to gain immediate cost savings before a full-scale modernization to cloud. On average, clients can save up to 20% in IT budgets annually using this model. Additional cost efficiency can be achieved through license analysis, software consolidation initiatives, database optimization, and determining which applications and data should remain on the mainframe and which can be retired or moved to the cloud.
Modernize and Refactor Applications
The mainframe applications code, databases, user interfaces, and externals are transformed to 100% functionally equivalent modern solutions and languages, including Java and C# .NET Core. Automated refactoring rules are applied to the code, leveraging modern programming standards and quality scans to achieve maintainable, human-readable, forward-development-ready code. This 99.9X% automated process reduces technical debt, including removing dead and redundant code, consolidating duplicate records, eliminating code smells, and resolving security vulnerabilities. Custom refactoring rules tailored to customers’ unique business needs can also be applied and reused across enterprise-scale IT ecosystems. Converting applications and services to newer, more contemporary code allows organizations to innovate, stay agile, and be competitive while accelerating time to value and often decreasing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by 80 – 90%.
Replatform to a Contemporary Cloud-Native Environment
Converted databases and applications are integrated into a flexible and scalable architecture via containerization that can include any cloud platform, SaaS, or hybrid-cloud model, taking full advantage of each cloud platform’s performance and scalability features, AI frameworks, resilience, and service environments. In addition, the modern ecosystem is enhanced with automated test frameworks, CI/CD pipeline templates, and prioritized customer support, accelerating business-driven development and a path to evergreen modernization.
“Through industry-leading automation and insight, our joint Assessment and Mainframe Optimization solution empowers IT teams with better decision-making, smarter digital transformation, and long-term cost reduction,” said TSRI President Nicolas Newcomb. “We rapidly bring enterprises into modern AI-ready cloud environments, while maintaining their ability to benefit from emerging services across hybrid architectures. As pioneers in AI modeling, we constantly evolve our methods to ensure mission-critical systems are modernized with the highest fidelity outcomes, and the least risk and business disruption in the industry.”
The Time to Optimize is Now
Through Mainframe Optimization and Application Modernization, enterprises can unlock innovation, agility, and long-term operational savings through rehosting and/or end-to-end application and database modernization. By consolidating software, decommissioning hardware, where appropriate, and transitioning more IT costs to an operating expense model, organizations stand not only to avoid risk and save on capital expenditures, but also to gain control and flexibility over their critical IT infrastructure.

TSRI Automatically Modernizes OpenVistA
Kirkland, WA. (March 12, 2010) – One of the best kept secrets in Washington DC is that our nation’s veterans already have a comprehensive electronic health care record (EHR) that for decades has supported delivery of quality health care at more than a 160 VHA hospitals around the world. That extraordinary system is VistA, the Veteran Information System Technical Architecture. Written in MUMPS, VistA serves as the vital backbone of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Electronic Health Care Record System (EHRS) that manages medical record data and delivers medical informatics to the veteran’s bedside while tracking and managing 100% of veteran’s health care electronically throughout his journey through the VHA medical care system. Visit the VHA’s OpenVistA® Transformation Blueprint at http://www.tsri.com/open-vista |
Ironically, VistA like many systems that are highly successful, is now threatened with self-extinction due to its need for continuous growth and the inability of MUMPS, the language it is written in, to sustain its continued evolution. VistA suffers from a form of software arthritis common among many legacy systems. Due to its age, size and complexity VistA is brittle, inflexible and resistant to change, and its maintenance costs have gone through the roof, compromising the VHA’s ability to grow and evolve Vista as the foundation for a 21st century medical delivery system for its veterans. In 2005 the VHA estimated automated modernization of VistA could save the VHA upwards of $3 Billion compared to redevelopment, or manual replacement. With the announcement today by The Software Revolution, Inc (TSRI), (the world-leading supplier of architecture driven modernization (ADM-based) solutions), of its open-source Transformation Blueprint ® for OpenVistA, TSRI has made a huge start on this daunting challenge. For those who might care to understand, the OpenVistA Transformation Blueprint ® is a major step towards achievement of the VHA's goal of modernizing its Electronic Healthcare Record system for its veterans. TSRI’s OpenVistA® Transformation Blueprint ® provides the complete target Java code and UML design for the transformation of all 2.1 Million lines of OpenVistA® and 120,000+ lines of Fileman MUMPS code. The OpenVistA® Transformation Blueprint ® is far more than a mere language translation. It is a massive multi-million page (300GB) web-based software design and architecture document consisting of navigable hypertext of the 'As-Is' MUMPS and 'To-Be Java' hyperlinked to hundreds of thousands of State Machine Graphs, Cause-Effect Graphs, State-Transition Tables, Control Flow Graphs, Data-Flow Graphs, Structure Charts, Data Element Tables, Class Diagrams expressed as scalable graphical diagrams that richly document all of the MUMPS and target Java/J2EE code. The Transformation Blueprint ® is both an application portfolio as well as a complete architectural roadmap towards a modernized OpenVistA® and Fileman. Every statement of MUMPS in OpenVistA® is shown side-by-side with its transformation into Java/ J2EE along with an extensive array of software property-oriented metric indices (e.g. fan-in, fan-out, complexity, redundancy, dead code, etc) for navigation to the code measured by the property. To learn more about TSRI’s transformation of OpenVistA® and the company’s plans for evolving OpenVistA® towards a modernized universal EHR system of the future, read the Chapter 12 casestudy: Veterans Health Administration’s VistA MUMPS Modernization Pilot in William Ulrich and Philip Newcomb’s new book Information Systems Transformation: Architecture-Driven Modernization CaseStudies, just published by Morgan Kaufmann, February 2010 as part of the Object Management Group (OMG) OMG Series.
