SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - March 15, 2016) - Modern Systems (NASDAQ: MDSY) has engaged in a project with a large manufacturer to eliminate their dependence on an aging mainframe environment. Modern Systems is using its expertise and automated technology to convert IMS databases to an Oracle database residing on a Java Enterprise Edition platform. Legacy application code will be converted from COBOL and IMS-DC to object-oriented Java.

Modern Systems has harnessed its powerful DB-Shuttle® tool set to analyze and manipulate the source code during Assessment and deconstruction of the legacy databases and applications, as well as in the construction of the replacement relational databases and applications.
