EZ Legacy – “Google Maps” for Application Management • The EZ Source a. CMDB discovers, retrieves, correlates and analyses all Application components for detailed impact analysis and metrics • Engineered to maximise the value and flexibility of bespoke and modified Application assets in a wide spectrum of situations: – Detailed applications analysis – Cross application dependencies – Application metrics – APM Dashboard • Provided either in-house or as Daa. S • CA Endevor integration via the standard API • Wide variety of Use Cases – Assessment, Break / Fix, Modernisation, Enhancements, Web services / integration, Compliance etc • Analyses source code, DB components, interfaces etc • 2
Business benefits • Quantitative assessment for accurate decision making and planning • Projects – increased accuracy, reduced change requests (business rule documentation) • Ongoing Applications Management - reduced ongoing delivery costs, quality improvements, application agility • Ensures completeness of inventory - all components are identified and dependencies documented • Identify dead and unused code candidates • Full technical compliance for regulatory initiatives such as SOX, HIPPA, etc. • Retention of application knowledge as part of an outsourcing arrangement • Reduce knowledge transfer and on-boarding processes for new hires
EZ Legacy – who are we ? We were founded in 2003 and we now have offices in UK, Germany, US and Australia.

EZ Source – what value does it deliver by IT role ? Management (Project, Application Delivery, Application Portfolio) Key Issues • • • Use Cases Complex investment decision making • Declining numbers of truly experienced mainframe staff • Keeping your outsource vendors “honest” and your costs predictable • • Value we deliver Application portfolio management Project planning and estimation • Training and knowledge transfer • Outsource management and distributed delivery • • • Providing application dashboard information for IT executives and management Supporting portfolio management decisions on what to invest where based on portfolio interdependencies and redundancy Supporting applications understanding and knowledge transfer Supporting training with “real life” data Provide a management dashboard for key metrics including consolidation and trending Supporting accurate change impact analysis Supporting change estimating (e. g. Backfired Function Points)
EZ Source – what value does it deliver by IT role ? Application Architecture Key Issues • • • Use Cases Effective integration with non-mainframe applications and middleware • Accurate change impact analysis across the whole applications environment (mainframe, nonmainframe) • Architecture management • • Value we deliver Assessment and planning Architecture control • Root cause analysis Enterprise CMDB projects • Measure and enforce company standards Business rules • Supporting x-application and x-platform analysis beyond mainframe Integration with EZ Legacy partner products • Supporting accurate “what if” analysis of changes Integrating with Change & Configuration tools • • Automated metrics to integrate within Automate forensic understanding
EZ Source – what value does it deliver by IT role ? Application Development/Support Key Issues • • • Understanding older business critical applications on the mainframe for changes Understanding applications “end to end” for testing purposes Use Cases • • • Fast understanding of • applications in support scenarios • Value we deliver Enhancement planning and verification Interactive / Soft copy technical documentation • Testing cycle reduction and quality improvements • Break / Fix impact assessment Change/release management integration • • Supporting accurate analysis of applications and interdependencies EZ Reports or Daa. S to document applications Identifying dead and unused code which can be removed/retired Supporting complexity estimating (e. g. Backfired Function Points) Supporting x-application and x-platform analysis beyond mainframe Integrating with EZ Legacy partner products Supporting end to end testing with test tool integration e. g. HP QC Supporting accurate root cause analysis of problem transactions Integrating with Change & Configuration tools
