Statistics show that many large companies throughout the world still rely on mainframe systems for strategic applications.These companies face rising costs associated with maintaining hardware and software applications on those systems. Chinasoft International offers accurate and cost-effective methods to preserve legacy investments and thereby avoid the costs and business impact of migration to entirely new software. We leverage our own product technology to develop and deploy a new User Interface (UI) extension that seamlessly interfaces with your existing application, no changes or enhancements are necessary to your mainframe application. We provide solutions that allow for performance gains, related to new technologies, while eliminating the risk of legacy informational downtime during the conversion process. Currently, substantial automation of this transformation process is now feasible, making transformation an economically attractive proposition compared with rewriting or replacing the legacy application.

Migration Tools
By taking advantage of the topological similarities between mainframe and web-based systems, Chinasoft International has developed a technology called D-Structure. This technology makes it possible to provide automatic migrations of mainframe applications to the web. D-Structure follows the three-tier architecture design for web-applications. The middle-tier is developed with Java and J2EE standards on top of commercially available middleware products like BEA Weblogic, ATG Dynamo or IBM Websphere. All business logic resides in the middle-tier; any COBOL and RPG programs will be mapped into the middle-tier. D-Structure supports all major commercial databases including Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Informix and Sybase.
