mLogica’s Expertise in Automated Application and Database Migrations for Telecommunications
Telecom companies face immense challenges when migrating their legacy systems to the cloud. These systems are often built on outdated technologies such as Assembler, Easytrieve, PL/1, and legacy databases, which require complex refactoring to function in modern environments. Telecom operators need to maintain business continuity, ensuring there is minimal disruption while migrating essential systems that handle vast amounts of data and transactions daily.
Challenges in Telecom Migrations
Legacy systems in the telecom sector often house mission-critical applications that are decades old. They have been heavily customized over the years, making it harder to migrate them without risking data loss, downtime, or performance drops. Many legacy platforms also rely on unique business logic or languages that modern engineers may not be familiar with. Additionally, telecom companies often face challenges related to the sheer scale of their operations, from customer billing and service management to network optimization and data processing, further complicating migrations.

Success Stories
A global telecommunications firm headquartered in Spain successfully migrated its legacy Assembler-based programs to COBOL using mLogica’s automated LIBER*M Mainframe Modernization Suite. Facing rising costs, outdated technology, and a shortage of Assembler expertise, the company transitioned 610,000 lines of code to Micro Focus COBOL. mLogica's automated tools ensured a smooth, error-free conversion, retaining existing JCLs and optimizing CICS for seamless user transitions. The migration resulted in increased efficiency, reduced operational costs, enhanced business continuity, and improved service delivery. This modernization enabled technology consolidation, innovation, and long-term scalability for the company's global operations.

A global telecommunications provider migrated its legacy IBM Db2 databases to the scalable Oracle 12c platform with the help of mLogica. Facing performance challenges, rising maintenance costs, and limited Db2 support, the company needed a solution with minimal disruption. mLogica conducted a 3-day on-site workshop, laying out a comprehensive migration plan. Using mLogica’s Automated Migration Studio (STAR*M), the Db2-to-Oracle 12c migration was executed seamlessly, including database objects, applications, and ETL remediation. The migration resulted in improved system performance, scalability, reduced errors, and freed the company from the constraints of its legacy Db2 environment.
