Learn more about our Feasibility Analysis

Identifying the effort and costs associated with a migration of VSE applications is a necessary first step in the move to z/OS. An early and accurate assessment of the application migration cost provides critical information needed by IT management to determine the feasibility of this strategic decision.

PRINCE Software offers extensive experience and a proven track record in the planning and execution of VSE to z/OS migrations. Our Preliminary Application Assessment will provide a rapid evaluation and inventory of your application elements, determine the scope and size of the project, and highlight important planning issues.
