BEND, Oregon, July 14, 2009 – Alchemy Solutions, Inc. (www.alchemysolutions.com), provider of legacy modernization solutions, today announced early availability of NeoServices, a Windows-based system for service-enabling mainframe business logic to derive more value before, during, and after migration.
As companies continue to seek ways to rein-in the cost of managing and running mainframe-based legacy systems, they are increasingly adapting these systems for the Windows environment. Alchemy Solutions’ market-leading software preserves and extends customers’ investments in their legacy mainframe systems by enabling them to be modernized as they are migrated by leveraging the power of .NET.
NeoServices is the newest member of the Alchemy Solutions family of modernize-as-you-migrate solutions giving enterprises the ability to service-enable existing mainframe and NeoKicks-based business logic with no code changes. These services enable a company’s proven mainframe assets to be leveraged in new initiatives like new portals, CRM and ERP applications, or new application development.
Since NeoServices supports the creation of Web services from both mainframe and NeoKicks-based application logic, organizations have the ability to derive immediate value before, during, and after migration.
“At Alchemy Solutions we empower organizations’ move into the future by providing modernize-as-you-migrate solutions,” said Ron Langer, vice president of sales for Alchemy Solutions. “NeoServices adds fast, intuitive service enablement to the modernization options we provide, increasing value by giving our customers the ability to start modernization even before they perform the migration.”
Earlier this year, Alchemy announced that it had attained Gold Certified Partner status in the Microsoft Partner Program, with a competency in ISV/Software Solutions. As a Gold Certified Partner, Alchemy has demonstrated expertise with Microsoft technologies and a proven ability to meet customers’ needs. Microsoft Gold Certified Partners receive a rich set of benefits, including access, training and support, giving them a competitive advantage in the channel.
Alchemy NeoServices is currently rolling out to early adopters, and will be generally available in the third quarter of 2009.
