IT Modernization Solutions
PARSEC Group offers multiple modernization solutions & services for every layer of your OpenVMS & Unix environment. Modernization over migration – we know the difference and they are not the same!
Modernizing your environment may mean simply upgrading your operating system to the latest version, or it might involve moving to different hardware alternatives that can “lift and shift” your OS and applications to run seamlessly on modern server architecture without an expensive migration project, application rewrite or change to your business processes. Or, maybe you’re looking to modernize ancient monolithic applications to be AI-enabled with microservices architecture and web-based API interfaces that interact seamlessly with other APIs. Whatever your vision is, let us show you which of our cutting-edge modernization solutions may be a good fit for your environment, whether that be on-premise, colocation, hosted in the cloud, or a variety of all the above.
Our capabilities and expertise open a new world of possibilities that empower your highly reliable and robust mission-critical and end-of-support systems to become some of the most cutting-edge, interoperable & secure systems within your IT infrastructure. We’ll also provide you the tools and expertise your developers need to create easy and accessible future experiences for your end-users. Finally, you can achieve your future on-premise, cloud and multi-cloud initiatives seamlessly and cost effectively with PARSEC Modernization Solutions.
