Cambar's Legacy Modernization Services Features

Service Oriented Architecture - Cambar has been a leader in the deployment of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) integration and process improvement in high volume transaction environments requiring mainframe class performance. Its seasoned technologists have the skill to dissect and expose for reuse legacy code and data written for mainframe performance, design solutions that are responsive across n-tier architectures, and tailor the solution to easily integrate with a variety of other systems or processes. Cambar's SOA solutions separate themselves from the competition through meeting customers' high performance requirements.

Mainframe Migration – Moving an integrated mainframe solution to a new operating platform delivers flexibility in managing infrastructure capacity. Mainframe migration is complex and risky. Cambar’s deep knowledge of mainframe solutions and its ability to surgically componentize mainframe logic differentiates its mainframe migration services. Cambar mitigates many of the risks and accelerates time to value.

User Interface – Legacy solution user interfaces were frequently designed for a limited set of business processes. As customer, supplier, partner, and internal integration of procedures has progressed the number of business processes to be supported has grown dramatically. The toolsets for user interface design and execution have removed limits to the number of user interfaces which can be effectively supported. Cambar consultants are experts at designing process driven user interfaces. They integrate user interfaces to multiple systems, focus on user efficiency and ease of use, and enable low touch deployment and maintenance.

Business Process Management – Cambar partners with leading providers of Business Process Management toolsets to capture and leverage an operation’s business rules and workflow. This enables process flexibility within a modernized IT architecture. Cambar provides the subject matter expertise to accelerate innovation while providing disciplined documentation of the impacted IT environment. The result is efficient and effective integrated systems, employees and trading partners operating within a controlled workflow management and governance process.

Business Intelligence – Using industry standard tools Cambar can integrate data from a wide range of operational and enterprise data sources, allowing your organization to gain a competitive advantage by providing a holistic view of your business. Developing an integrated view of business data as the foundation for your traditional reporting, OLAP analysis, scorecards, and data mining delivers the information employees need to make better business decisions—in virtually any business environment. Cambar gives you the power to explore data, discover patterns, and apply these patterns to business operations with an easy-to-use, extensible, accessible, and flexible platform.

Establishing IT Governance – Using proven techniques and best practices Cambar helps organizations establish initiative portfolio governance processes that integrate IT and business initiatives into a joint strategy. By implementing a repeatable and documented governance process IT and business organizations can reduce project costs, keep strategically aligned, and reduce risks across an initiative portfolio.

Systems Performance Management - Cambar partners with systems performance management toolset providers to plan, monitor, and control systems performance to its customer’s business standards. Cambar’s technologists use these tools to assess solution designs for their impact on capacity and ensure customers have adequate capacity for peak periods, particularly expensive mainframe capacity.

Security – Cambar designs its solutions to manage threats from users and external servers. Applications and data are protected through authentication, access control, exception alerts, control audits, and encryption of data in transit or in storage. Using industry best practice design, analysis and security tools Cambar reduces a company’s overall exposure and risk while reducing the total cost of security.

Data Rationalization – Data inconsistencies in master reference files occur as a result of mergers and acquisitions, running multiple enterprise environments in a global organization, or break-downs in coordination across a best-of-breed environment. Inconsistencies in part, product, customer, supplier, or partner reference files may limit transaction execution, inhibit analysis, or produce inconsistent reports. Cambar delivers a unique competency: the ability to rapidly convert data taken from disparate sources into rationalized, coherent data.
