Success Case: Automated Modernization of Legacy Systems in a Large Bank
The Challenge: A Sleeping Giant
One of the largest banks in Brazil needed to modernize its critical infrastructure without losing data integrity or halting its operations. The project involved:
- More than 20 million lines of COBOL/ADSO code
- Over 100 billion records in IDMS databases
- Systems operating in mission-critical environments, where any failure would have a direct business impact.
And the most challenging part: all of this had to be done automatically, in compliance with the strict criteria of the contract.
