   Modernization solution architecture focused on digital transformation of core mainframe applications and relevant business operations - without the transitional risks that are unfortunately common to major projects.\\\\n\\\\n- Digital transformation which, in order to fully mitigate the risks of the transition, proceeds in two swim lanes which eventually merge:\\\\n(1) Business: one lane for the business or enterprise architects designing the new business operations and new or changed transactions,\\\\n(2) Technical: second lane for the migration of just the legacy business rules into an executable form, such as a rules engine, where they are proven 100% equivalent to the legacy platform, excluding obsolete logic. The technical orchestration logic surrounding the business rules can be developed in Java or C# or can be implemented via a low code platform.\\\\n(3) Merging: Once the business rules are all set, the two swim lanes merge and necessary changes to the business rules can be implemented rapidly and safely.\\\\n\\\\nThis risk mitigated digital transformation is possible because of the unique and patented semantic approach to business rule extraction. Semantic BRE provides 100% of the code level business rules, forensically proven.\\\\nSemantic BRE plus a low code platform allows a complete solution with essentially no code. This provides the fastest and lowest cost downstream maintenance, perfect for competing successfully in a digital marketplace against \"digital native\" startups.\\\\n\\\\n- Digital re-architecture, which fully decomposes the legacy application and then \"re-composes\" it as a fully object oriented application in a microservices architectures that is close to manually written code in quality and ease of maintenance. Target can be either Java or C# in the cloud.\\\\n\\\\n- extended co-existence strategies between legacy and new applications that remove the dangers from \"big bang\" deployment\\\\n\\\\nCall anytime at 78••••••80.\\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n \\\\n\\\\n \\\\n
