The Leap2© product line allows your company to move your current applications using IMS facilities from their current environment to a variety of Unix based platforms. Moreover, Leap2© allows your company to retain the code base in its native form. COBOL, C, PL/1 or Assembly (coming soon). In most cases, there is little to no change in the code base other than what is required by a new compiler dialect.

A large enterprise system for a major telecommunications company consisting of 50 Million lines of source code, was migrated to the Armas IMS rehosting environment. Originally developed to operate on mainframe based IMS systems, the company’s 20 years worth of services business logic was preserved by automatically migrating the legacy IMS COBOL code to operate on mid-range Unix servers in the Armas environment.
