CHICAGO, October 7 /PRNewswire/ --

- UniKix Integration with isCOBOL APS to Enhance Legacy Application Modernization and Integration Capabilities

Clerity Solutions, Inc., a leading full-service provider of mainframe migration and modernization solutions, today announced that it is adding the isCOBOL Application Platform Suite (isCOBOL APS) from Veryant to the list of COBOL platforms supported by its UniKix rehosting technology suite.

Veryant's isCOBOL software lets enterprises retain and enhance valuable application assets by blending COBOL with the openness, portability, and power of the Java platform, without retraining staff or rewriting code. UniKix rehosting software from Clerity provides a cost-effective environment for running online and batch workloads on scalable UNIX, Linux, and Linux on mainframe platforms.

"Clerity is focused on delivering best of breed solutions that add competitive advantage and extend the life of our customers' legacy assets," said Brandon Edenfield, president of Clerity Solutions, Inc. "We are pleased to add isCOBOL to the list of software products that can be used in conjunction with our extensive migration and modernization offerings."

Enterprises deploying UniKix technology will be able to leverage isCOBOL APS, providing an evolutionary path forward for their valuable legacy application assets while simultaneously improving cost-per-transaction rates. By preserving legacy business logic, connectivity, and data, the annual operating costs involved in maintaining CICS, IMS, and IDMS programs; COBOL, C/C++, and JEE applications; as well as related VSAM and relational data can be reduced by as much as 80% with UniKix rehosting technology from Clerity.

isCOBOL APS integration with UniKix is scheduled for completion by the end of 2008. UniKix customers interested in joining the isCOBOL APS integration beta program are invited to visit Clerity's website at http://www.clerity.com/products/unikix/iscobolintegration.php for more detail.
