(I-Newswire) March 1, 2010 - >Scort's tools for application modernisation in mainframe environments grow Metrixware's range of application portfolio management and IT governance solutions
Metrixware, producer of software solutions dedicated to Application Portfolio Management (APM) and IT Governance, announces the acquisition of Scort, a company specialising in mainframe application modernisation towards J2EE and .Net architectures. This operation underlines Metrixware's intention to position itself as a major player in the Information Systems modernisation market, with an exhaustive offer that covers all aspects of the IS management and valorisation process. Based on the same strategy, this merger is the foundation stone of a solid and durable group with nearly one hundred people and an expected 2010 turnover of over € 8 M.
From assessment of the present towards modernisation
Historically, Metrixware has been present in the Application Portfolio Management and IT Governance market since 1995, when it decided to provide IT management with the information they require to analyse and steer their application portfolio.
Scort was created in 1996, and has ever since specialised in solutions aimed at simplifying the integration between mainframe applications and Web architectures. Its solutions make the collaboration between Cobol and Web teams easier, valorise their respective expertise, and automatically generate robust, documented and immediately useable Java/.Net components.
With this acquisition Metrixware is in a position to offer a complete solution range to industrialise the Information Systems steering and optimisation, from the inventory and quality/criticality/cost assessment, through knowledge mining tools, to modernisation tools for mainframe based corporate applications.
Functional and geographical complementarity
Scort's dual competence in mainframe & new technologies complements Metrixware's. The resulting new team (about one hundred people, out of which 60 in R&D) is ready to guide its clients in the valorisation of their Information Systems, helping them to re-use and optimise their existing applications, regardless of the underlying technology.
Renowned and appreciated by its customers, the Scort brand remains active. This strategy is bound to enable Metrixware to reinforce its international development, based on Scort's Spanish subsidiary and its prestigious customers, among which Iberia, Axa and GasNatural.
