COMPLETE YOUR PROJECT WITH IBS
IBS/Qwik-Sizer Analysis
Provides a snapshot view of the date impact in systems and a preliminary project scope and budget to fix the problem. Using IBS' scanner tools on available source code, IBS develops solution recommendations and conducts user and management awareness sessions.
Conversion Factories
IBS has established factories in Chicago, Norfolk, Tampa and London to automatically scan and convert date impacted code.
Operating on standard factory/assembly-line procedures, IBS receives the raw material (defined packets of source code) from the client. The material is checked for completeness, goes through multiple scans to identify dates (client interface required for company unique coding, etc.). The client and IBS experts review the impacted code and make repair decisions based on the client's business requirements. The scanned code is then turned over to the assembly line (IBS trained technicians) for automated or manual repair. IBS then ships the repaired programs to the client for testing and implementation.
Specifically for IBS/Solution 2000, IBS has developed tools which are used exclusively in the IBS Year 2000 factories:
SCANNER/PARSING TOOLS for:
COBOL Easytrieve RPG II
