Seamless Transition to Hyperscalers

The mLogica Migration Team

As organizations accelerate digital transformation, selecting the right cloud platform, whether AWS, Microsoft Azure, GCP, or Oracle Cloud, stands as a critical strategic decision. Yet the choice of Hyperscaler is only part of the migration equation. The deeper question is this: what is the right migration path to the cloud for complex, aging mainframe systems that must maintain security, data integrity, and uninterrupted operations?

This decision goes far beyond technology features or pricing comparisons. It requires understanding how each of the Hyperscalers’ platform aligns with your legacy workloads, compliance requirements, and enterprise security posture. The wrong fit can expose vulnerabilities, disrupt business-critical processes, and derail transformation efforts entirely.

In truth, the issue is not whether you can move to the cloud, it’s how you can do so without risking project failure. Success demands more than speed; it demands strategy, foresight, and a Hyperscaler aligned to your unique environment.

mLogica’s LIBER*M framework was built precisely for this challenge. Cloud agnostic by design, LIBER*M bridges legacy systems with cloud native architectures, automating and simplifying modernization from start to finish. Whether refactoring COBOL into Java or C#, migrating VSAM files into modern databases, or replacing JCL with PowerShell or other modern scripts, LIBER*M ensures accuracy, consistency, and speed delivering results that manual processes simply can't match.

With automation at its core and AI enhanced capabilities like code analysis, dependency mapping, and business logic extraction, LIBER*M empowers enterprises to:

  • Seamlessly integrate with native cloud services (ML, IoT, analytics, etc.)
  • Gain near infinite scalability with Hyperscaler platforms
  • Improve disaster recovery and security posture
  • Reduce long term operational costs and technical debt
  • Eliminate reliance on shrinking mainframe skillsets
  • Enable faster innovation cycles through DevOps and CI/CD compatibility

This isn’t just theoretical; it’s proven through hundreds of migrations to the cloud.

Case in Point: A Financial Services Transformation on Azure

An international financial services organization undertook a project with mLogica technologies to modernize its legacy COBOL and Assembler based systems and transition to Microsoft Azure, with support from a global IT services provider. Tasked with the first phase of this high stakes' initiative, mLogica deployed its LIBER*M framework to convert mainframe programs into C#.NET, migrate data to Azure SQL, and translate JCL scripts into PowerShell all within a tight three-month window.

The result?

  • Full modernization delivered on time and within budget
  • Zero disruption to critical payment processing operations
  • Automated tooling cut manual effort by 60%
  • Scalable cloud architecture now ready for future phases
  • Built in LIBER*M runtime and 3 years of support at no additional cost

This success story showcases how LIBER*M makes Hyperscaler transitions not only possible but practical, predictable, and cost effective.

Modernization isn’t just about replacing systems. It’s about building an adaptable, future ready foundation that unlocks the full potential of the cloud and LIBER*M delivers that bridge. Whether you're working with AWS, Microsoft Azure, GCP, or Oracle Cloud, mLogica ensures you're not just migrating, you're transforming.
