Webinar: Migrate CICS to .NET or Windows® Azure™ with NeoKicks®
Jan 10, 2012 10 a.m. PST

Presented By: David Edwards, Alchemy Solutions Senior Software Engineer

Launch CICS COBOL into .NET and the cloud. Alchemy Solutions Developer David Edwards will demonstrate the CICS modernization app NeoKicks® running on Windows® servers and the Windows® Azure™ cloud.

CICS in .NET

Revolutionize CICS applications with the Microsoft .NET™ Framework. Replace clunky text-based screens with modern graphical user interfaces. Boost performance and productivity. Tap new programming talent and take advantage of modern programming languages like C# and VB.NET.

CICS in the Cloud

Once CICS is in .NET, the Windows Azure cloud is just a click away. Get true scalability, bullet-proof backup and disaster recovery and worry-free IT while drastically reducing costs.

Join us on Tuesday, January 10, 2012 as we demonstrate how NeoKicks takes mainframe CICS/COBOL/DB2/VSAM-based applications and migrates those workloads to ASP.NET or Windows Azure with minimal changes to the application code and data.

Learn how:

NeoKicks® can translate CICS COBOL, including the BMS Maps, into ASP.NET web applications
We transform BMS maps by parsing them in ASP.NET pages and C# map descriptors.
Parse COBOL applications and export the results with the CICS calls replaced by the NeoKicks runtime
To set up the SQL Azure database and the AppFabric Caching for session state
To create the Azure Web Role project and deploy it to the cloud
