Publisher's Description

Tulane University is a premier research-based academic institution located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Tulane was experiencing a period of limited resources and the continued sky-high annual maintenance fees for its mainframe software reduced the level of flexibility of its financial systems. Tulane selected Move2Open (M2O), a leading legacy migration specialist based in Oxford, England, for its ability to convert IDEAL to Micro Focus COBOL and to migrate from Datacom to relational databases. With the university’s larger business goals in mind, M2O recommended the conversion of the BDS IDEAL application code into Micro Focus COBOL to run on Windows, where Micro Focus Net Express could be used to maintain and extend the application going forward.
