Astadia’s automated mainframe refactoring solution, powered by the FastTrack Factory, empowers enterprises to overcome legacy constraints by transforming monolithic COBOL, Assembler, Natural, IDMS/ADS, JCL, PL/1, and EGL applications into modern, cloud-native architectures—fully optimized for Microsoft Azure.

By leveraging Azure’s global infrastructure, integrated services, and enterprise-grade security, Astadia helps organizations:

• Migrate to Azure with Confidence

Seamlessly transition mainframe workloads to Microsoft Azure using proven methodologies and intelligent automation. Astadia’s refactoring approach ensures zero functional regression and preserves core business logic while replatforming to modern languages like C# or Java—fully compatible with Azure App Services, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Azure Functions.

• Rebuild for Cloud-Native Agility

Refactored applications are rearchitected to take full advantage of Azure services such as Azure Virtual Machines, Azure SQL Database, Azure Blob Storage, and Azure Logic Apps—delivering elastic scalability, high availability, and cost efficiency across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

• Solve the Mainframe Skills Shortage

By converting legacy code into widely adopted modern languages and frameworks, Astadia eliminates reliance on shrinking pools of COBOL, Assembler, and IDMS/ADS expertise. This opens the door to a broader talent base familiar with Microsoft development tools like Visual Studio, .NET, and GitHub—accelerating hiring and onboarding.

• Ensure Quality with 100% Automated Testing

Astadia’s proprietary testing framework delivers full automation across unit, integration, regression, and performance testing. Every line of refactored code is validated against the original mainframe logic, ensuring functional equivalence and dramatically reducing QA cycles. Integrated with Azure DevOps, including Azure Pipelines and Azure Test Plans, automated testing becomes a continuous, scalable process.
