ITP-PANORAMA Inc will demonstrate and present the unique power of ITP-PANORAMA to help you address many critical issues related to managing , maintaining, modernizing and optimizing your current Legacy COBOL, PL1, ASM, etc (as well as modern) source code. The technology helps developers increase their efficiency and quality with the effect that analysis time is cut by 90% and cost of maintenance shrinks by 30%. This is proved by stunning reference stories of many IT shops of companies with up to 200M lines of Legacy code. Imagine if you could: Re-document all of your applications and be able to update daily. Get your source code cross-referenced checked with each scan-run to find all Missing or open links No longer used programs, modules or copybooks (dead code) and thus provide MIPS and MLC savings Know that items you remove will not impact any other part of the system Get all your programs transparent to the smallest detail Follow the value chain of a variable through applications and programs Impact analysis for change requests now 100% accurate and performed faster than thought possible see the impact of the change request (with nothing missed) in a mouse click. Customers report that complex analyses that took days now done in minutes. You will be surprised that maintaining, modernizing and optimizing of your current Legacy (as well as modern) source code can be done much faster and with much higher quality. Searches that took hours now done in minutes. The more complex and heterogeneous your IT system is, the more value ITP Panorama is going to show you.
