Hexaware Joins With Oracle Tuxedo To Offer Legacy Modernisation

Hexaware Technologies, a global provider of IT, BPO and consulting services, is working with Oracle to enhance its Legacy Modernization services using the Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for CICS and Batch 11g and Oracle Tuxedo Application Rehosting Workbench 11g. Oracle Tuxedo 11g, an application server for mission critical C/C++ and COBOL applications, is designed for running large-scale, reliable distributed enterprise applications that enable businesses to reduce development and deployment costs. Oracle Tuxedo Application Runtime for CICS and Batch provides the mainframe runtimes and, together with the migration tools provided by the Workbench, accelerates and simplifies mainframe migration, while preserving existing application assets.

Legacy applications contain invaluable business logic, which is often not documented. Additionally, the re-architecture of legacy applications is a cause of concern for customers. Hexaware will address these concerns by working with Oracle and leveraging Oracle Tuxedo to help customers support critical applications and leverage modern technologies. This modernisation will help businesses lower time to market and achieve a higher degree of quality and performance.

“We are excited about our collaboration with Oracle to provide service offerings for migration of legacy applications to Oracle’s robust, proven stack. With our experience in this domain, this partnership will provide future-proof Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to our customers,” said Ramanan R V, President-Global Delivery and Chief Software Architect, Hexaware Technologies.

As part of this effort, Oracle will provide training to Hexaware’s technical team in addition to field and technical support. Hexaware will develop proof-of-concepts towards modernising the applications in various technologies/ platforms and thus create a distinct service offering for migration to Oracle Tuxedo. Oracle and Hexaware will engage in joint go-to-market activities to take this combined offering to customers.
