Mainframe Modernisation Services
Gen Application Migration
We recognise the value that Gen has brought to organisations across the world, and have a range of tooling to modernise and restructure those application portfolios. However, when an organisation has taken the strategic decision to migrate to native code in technologies such as Cobol, Java and .NET, this can be safely and cost-effectively achieved through the use of TXP’s automated migration capability. By using the Gen models as the source, this provides code that is hand-maintainable, functionally equivalent and performant, and has no dependence on the Gen runtimes.
Mainframe Modernisation
TXP empowers Gen users to maximise their return on investment by restructuring and reorganising applications. The bedrock of this is the automated assessment of the “as is” state of the application portfolio, along with world-class consultancy to determine the most cost-effective route to the “to be” situation. Services include rearchitecting, isolating functionality, block-mode splitting, componentisation and a range of automated processes to facilitate modernisation initiatives, allowing integration into modern cloud-enabled technologies.

Mainframe Modernisation Challenges
Growth blockers
Legacy systems hinder business-wide agility, eating up more than 70% of IT budgets just for maintenance (Gartner). Modernisation frees resources, delivering up to 35% faster time-to-market (IDC).
Complexity paralysis
60% of digital transformations stall due to complexity and unclear goals (Gartner). TXP’s tailored roadmaps simplify your modernisation journey, providing clarity and confident execution.
Fear of disruption
A fear of downtime delays nearly 70% of digital transformations. TXP ensures seamless, secure, zero-downtime transitions to protect operational continuity.
Innovation lag
Legacy management consumes vital resources, stalling innovation efforts. Transitioning to adaptive, AI-driven platforms redirects efforts towards innovation and responsiveness.

There are a number of risks when modernising mainframe systems. These risks include data migration integrity, service disruption, compliance issues and skills gaps. But with careful planning, phased rollouts and expert support – businesses can mitigate and manage these risks, preserving business continuity while modernising at the same time.
Yes. Modernisation can lower long-term maintenance costs by integrating with cloud and other modern platforms, automating processes, improving performance, and reducing reliance on scarce legacy skills.
