Welcome,
  
  Simply stated, ABCOMM is your organization's your best opportunity to migrate 
  legacy COBOL environments to Microsoft's .Net architecture including all your 
  data structures, PERIOD! 
  
  ABCOMM can migrate your DEC/COMPAQ/HP and IBM COBOL environments to Microsoft's.Net 
  environment (Visual Basic) seamlessly with our migration processes eliminating 
  long SDLC constraints, providing concistent, structured and well-defined objects to
  support RAD conversions.
  
  If your business has a legacy Cobol environment and you are considering migrating to 
  Microsoft's .Net Architectures then we have the technologies your IT group requires! 
  See what we can do for you by examining our processes and services. We do not outsource 
  and all our processes are fully automated resulting in consistent, structured source code.
  
  When considering whether to migrate your legacy systems or purchase a new environment,
  several elements should be evaluated. Some of these should include:

• Is the functionality of your business software environment able to be replicated by 
  another software product or is your software highly customized to meet your businesses unique needs?

• Will a vendor supply all their software's source code for your IT team to adapt the product 
  to meet your business requirements, now and in the future? 

• Can your IT group enhance the new software environment?

• What is the cost of on-going maintenance, support and upgrades for a new 
  software/hardware environment?

• Are you able to purchase platform hardware externally from the software or only bundled?

• Will your business be in complete control of its databases and system architectures?

• Are the products you are considering developed using older or evolving technologies?

• Can your IT group and users access "ALL" of the data using industry common tools?

• How expensive are the products you are considering?

• Do new solutions give you less-than, equal-to or more functionality than your current systems?

• Most important, what is the cost of ownership over 3, 5, and 10 years? 

  If you were considering outsourcing the conversion of your software systems, it would 
  be relevant to evaluate several key items;

• Will the conversion be performed by a single entity or outsourced to multiple groups?

• Does the vendor have coding standards for conversions?

• Will all source code be supplied or does the vendor include "protected libraries" or "DLL's" 
  necessary to make the migrated code function?

• Will the migration process be performed using the same technology and tested with the
  same QA standards?

• How long will the migration project take for each segment? (code, screens, data)

• How much will the complete migration cost? (fixed or cost-plus)

• Does the migration include all code, data and screens or just partial elements of each?

• What platform will the converted code operate on?

• Will the vendor allow for subsequent, no-cost, conversions if coding conversion mistakes are discovered?
