In assisting its clients with their IT application needs, QTECH has noticed that many of its clients are facing the need to add new capabilities to their aging applications.  Further we have noticed that many of our clients are constrained by their ability to maintain, let along enhance those applications.

This realization has driven us to search out external competencies to overcome such obstacles in order to better assist our clients to meet their ever evolving IT needs.  We have partnered with METEX Inc. for its modernization solution that transforms and re-architects legacy client-server applications and affords our client the flexibility to design an architecture based on Java or .Net that best meets their current and future requirements.

Re-Architecting client/server applications to JAVA or .Net

The Metex Modernization solution leverages the tooling and experience developed by Metex over 100+ modernization projects totalling over 100+ million lines of code transformed. It is unique in that it can be applied to virtually any legacy client / server application and can produce either JAVA or .NET modernized application. Further, the resulting application contains only native, maintainable code, no external dependencies other than on the basic JAVA or .NET technology.

The Metex process engages the customer through all phases of the modernization, project, ensuring that the resulting application encapsulates the desired functionality and conforms to the customer's target architecture.  Metex mitigates project risks to the customer through a fixed price engagement with guaranteed results, and delivers:

  • Improved System Reliability, Availability and Serviceability
