Keyhole Enterprise Architects assisted two main change initiatives which included the Architectural Analysis of a large application domain in addition to an Analysis of Alternatives. Keyhole consultants were tasked with analyzing the current system’s architectural footprint. Working with the current federal IT and business staff, they developed a vision of the future state of those systems, and created a transition roadmap of projects to reach that future state.
Increased Stability In Transition to Microservices
The ultimate goal of this project was to improve the stability of the application suite as the organization made the transition to a Microservices-style platform. Keyhole consultants assisted with the migration from a monolithic application architecture to a Microservices style that broke up application functionality into smaller runtime elements that could be tested and deployed separately.
M204 To Spring Boot Microservices
In this project, almost 1,000 existing Model 204 batch applications were converted to Java Spring and Spring Batch-based applications.
The goal of this engagement was for Keyhole Software to help the client to implement an application architecture and platform that supports the conversion of its Model 204 applications into Spring Boot-based application modules. There were many modules, both batch and online-based, so this platform needed to allow for scalability and durability. On-demand deployment was also necessary.
Modernization: COBOL Batch Processing to Spring Batch
The Keyhole team worked to modernize the organization’s enterprise batch processing applications. This project included converting a long list of COBOL batch processing applications into Java-based batch applications using the Spring Batch framework. The project encompasses a wide range of tasks from calculating and assessing fees, to processing large vendor fees, and running recon reports.
