CloudFrame Introduces Atlas to Transform Mainframe Intelligence
CloudFrame is excited to unveil Atlas, an innovative intelligence platform that brings a fresh perspective to how enterprises manage, understand, and modernize their mainframe systems. Unlike traditional approaches that simply quantify the code, Atlas engages in a holistic analysis that uncovers relationships, risks, and opportunities, providing companies with deep insights that are crucial for modernization and compliance.
A Solution for Industry Challenges
As stated by CloudFrame's Chief Operating Officer, Hans Otharsson, mainframe systems form the backbone of numerous industries. Their inherent complexity and the declining pool of skilled professionals pose significant risks to organizations. With Atlas, businesses gain the clarity and intelligence needed to preserve institutional knowledge, mitigate risks, and confidently embark on modernization journeys.
Knowledge Preservation and Risk Management
Atlas excels at generating detailed knowledge graphs that facilitate the creation of Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), technical specifications, system diagrams, and comprehensive modernization roadmaps directly from legacy code. This capability allows teams to either self-serve or consult an AI-driven subject matter expert for swift answers to intricate technical queries, effectively reducing bottlenecks and speeding up decision-making processes.
Enhancing Planning and Test Preparedness
With features like automated discovery, risk heatmaps, and performance insights, Atlas significantly enhances project planning and lessens the likelihood of defects. By ensuring alignment with compliance and governance protocols, organizations can pursue faster operations while having robust assurance in their quality and oversight.
Reducing Technical Debt Proactively
Atlas is adept at identifying and addressing dead code and performance bottlenecks, such as inefficient SQL usage, before they transition into modern programming languages like Java. By dealing with these issues upfront, organizations can avoid inheriting technical debt that could escalate costs in the future.
Innovative Approach with Proven Technology
Combining reliable deterministic code analysis with Agentic AI, Atlas offers a cutting-edge solution that continuously learns and adapts. This contrasts with conventional generative methods, focusing on reducing errors through deterministic tooling while utilizing generative AI exclusively to convert knowledge graphs into easily understandable documentation. This intelligent design fosters a natural, intuitive interaction with complex legacy systems.
A Strategic Pathway to Modernization
Atlas represents more than just documentation; it serves as a decision engine that addresses legacy system challenges. Beyond merely outlining counts and diagrams, it compiles a detailed knowledge graph depicting runtime usage, data lineage, interfaces, and change-related risks, translating these insights into actionable priorities such as test scopes and dependency-aware cutover plans. When used alongside CloudFrame's CodeNavigator, organizations can automate the conversion of COBOL to Java, producing high-performance outputs with minimal need for adjustments post-conversion.
Promotional Access for Prospective Customers
As part of the Atlas launch, CloudFrame is offering free access to select potential customers. This restricted access accommodates up to 200,000 lines of code using a web interface that can be installed rapidly, analyzing uploaded mainframe artifacts. While certain advanced features will be unavailable during this promotional period, CloudFrame believes that the foundational capabilities of Atlas will significantly showcase its usefulness in enhancing modernization, governance, and risk management strategies. Notably, all documentation and assets created under the free version will remain the customer's property, whether or not they proceed with a full subscription.
