MOST's highly automated Enterprise Assessment process serves to understand all the implications of Innovating your Legacy applications.

Key to legacy renovation and modernization is the ability to analyze the source environment, and to assess all the implications of carrying out the modernization process. 

Enterprise Assessment, uses MOST's OnTarget technology and OnTarget Repository.  The OnTarget repository serves as the central Knowledgebase for subsequent migration and renovation activities. 

OnTarget first collects inventory information pertaining to all the system entities that comprise the application/s to undergo the modernization process. Application Trees show the relationship between all entities that comprise the scope of the assessment at hand. Additionally these trees depict the usage of the differing entities and their impact on the entire IT environment and the respective application(s).

A holistic view of the application is captured within the OnTarget repository to enable re-engeneering of the application to a layered architecture.

Inventory information is collected for components that include:

Enterprise Assessment ensures that the customer is provided with precise information and qualified recommendations for: 

• Migration of the core database management systems
• Conversion of application systems
• Facilitation of an industrialized approach to software maintenance
• Centralized enterprise-wide Repository for entire software system knowledge
• Quick and accurate assessment of IT projects to reduce risk
• Project Planning and monitoring for renovation and modernization projects

 The application captured with in the OnTarget repository will be transformed into 3 distinct layers, with clear separation between:  

• Presentation Layer
• Business Logic
• Data Access Layer
