Solutions and Services
The key to the success of the PROGRESSION approach is the use of a combination of solutions and services to first determine and then deliver the perfect recipe to meet your needs. Whether you decide to retain your existing platform or modernize to a new one, our PROGRESSION team will ensure that your solution consists of the perfect blend of tools and support.
With the PROGRESSION automated tool suite, legacy applications developed with languages such as COBOL, RPG, and Transact can be easily modernized to a newer platform such as Microsoft .NET using languages including VB.NET or C#. Most importantly, once the modernization is complete you own the source code, so you can maintain your organization's internal repairs and provide immediate solutions going forward.
The Fujitsu PROGRESSION Solution consists of a mix of software and hardware designed specifically for you to modernize and revitalize your valuable systems and assets.

Code Quality Analysis
Before your code has been migrated, it is verified using the Fujitsu legacy source code analyzer, Interstage® SCA. Interstage SCA is a part of the Interstage SQA suite, and is used to analyze source code, like COBOL, and it is used at the start of the project to determine source code quality, complexity, and completeness as well as to identify all legacy components within the scope of the project.
Services
Key to the success of the PROGRESSION solution is the services team. The services team is composed of a wide variety of migration experts, from software and hardware engineers to program managers and analysts. The services team knows what is required to modernize your system and they are prepared to do whatever it takes to migrate your system efficiently and painlessly.
Decades of helping clients meet their IT challenges gives Fujitsu a unique perspective on what solutions actually work when devising a system modernization strategy.
