News Facts

    - Syncsort, a global leader in extreme performance data integration and
      data protection software, today announced a new solution that enables
      organizations to accelerate their mainframe application modernization
      initiatives while utilizing fewer resources and dramatically reducing
      costs.

    - Mainframe application modernization projects have been historically
      plagued by high failure rates due to the complexity of translating and
      transforming mainframe data. Mainframe data sources and formats are
      challenging for IT departments to interpret, manipulate, and convert,
      and organizations frequently struggle to perform data integration and
      transformation processes in open systems environments that meet
      required levels of performance and scalability.

    - Syncsort's mainframe application modernization solution maximizes the
      success of projects by delivering extreme performance translation of
      massive amounts of mainframe data to open systems platforms, and
      transformation capabilities on the open systems platforms.

    - At the core of the solution is Syncsort's DMExpress extreme performance
      data integration software. DMExpress is the fastest and most resource
      efficient data integration software available for organizations
      experiencing exploding data volumes and reduced processing windows.

    - DMExpress' advanced data conversion functionality and robust data
      transformations speed and simplify mainframe application modernization
      initiatives, enabling organizations to reduce costs, increase developer
      productivity, and generate rapid time to value.

    - In addition to DMExpress, the mainframe application modernization
      solution includes optional professional services and training that
      build on Syncsort's more than 40 years of mainframe software
      leadership, offering a level of functionality and experience that is
       unmatched in the data integration market.

    - Syncsort's mainframe application modernization solution provides
      support for multiple migration approaches, including re-hosting through
      partnership agreements.

    Supporting Quote
    - "There are a number of business and technology drivers that are
      motivating companies to rethink the economics of their data and the
      business value that can be achieved from modernizing their mainframe
      applications to run on open systems," said W. Sean Ford, Chief
      Marketing Officer, Syncsort. "Syncsort's mainframe application
      modernization solution enables organizations to migrate massive amounts
      of mainframe data faster and with minimal resource utilization to
      significantly reduce costs, increase business agility and boost bottom
      line results."
