An innovative (patented) reverse and forward engineering approach to app modernization:

· Interactively, machine guided & human controlled process re-architects apps from one platform to another

· Analyzes and rebuilds apps through an AST (Abstract Semantics Tree); structure, functionality and dependencies

· Best fit for app re-architecting from platform to platform while leveraging existing business logic, up to 30 times faster and more accurate in comparison to manual rewrite

· The only tool-based approach to re-architect monolithic apps to multi-user applications on the Web, Mobile and Cloud

· Overkill If you only need a simple version to version upgrade with code syntax translation. Auto-migration- approach might be a better fit for you

We are proud about finding the golden path to app rewrite: human control with machine guidance in no-time, with almost zero errors and the best ROI in the market.

The Rewriter interacts with the Architect-Operator in a standard IDEThe entire Digital-Rewriting process is interactive. The Rewriter points out gaps to target and suggests solutions with existing or new rules. The architect-operator communicates with the rewriter with rules, via Visual Studio based (or Eclipse in roadmap) IDEs.

Best of machine speed, human intelligence andcontrol Only a machine can find & replace millions of codefragments or component occurrences, without errors and in seconds! Only a machine can reassemble an app by checkingcollisions and the integrity of millions of code lines in no-time.Now, imagine how long it would take human programmers to do the same...months or years?

We are the first innovators to reverse & forward engineer using an AST (Abstract semantic tree)The Rewriter “Scans” the source app and builds its AST (blueprint).

Based on the AST, The Rewriter forward-engineers (re-architects) a new application.

We take you to the target architecture of your choiceWe can re-engineer to the target-architecture of your choice. Our approach is replace rather than extend: The Rewriter replaces legacy components based on the AST with targeted new ones. So, If you'd like your monolithic app to be re-engineered to layers, The Rewriter can do it.

Can you imagine the ROI you could achieve with the Digital-App-Rewriter?

SHOWCASE #1

00project of the year Reward

Fortune100, Executive

(headquartered in USA)

Organization industry• Finance & Insurance

Platform shift• From older version of VB6 & Win OS /

Servers to new Win 8 / Server 2012 /

.NET C# & Visual Studio 2013

Business need • Improve user experience

• Improve maintainability

• Comply with data protection

regulations

Alternative evaluation• Manual rewrite was dropped at early stage due to high

resources and longer TTM projections• The SI who wrote the applications was also evaluated.

The SI employed auto migration tools – the customer decision was toevaluate this option and to perform POC + pilot

• Digital rewrite by GizmoxTS – customer decision was to perform POC+pilot

Actual• SI option

• Time, resource andbudget overruns comparedto initial projections

• Could not customize tocustomer standards or.NET best practices

• Dependency on additionalDLLs and helper libraries

• Digital-rewrite• Scope: around 1M lines of

code• Customer customized code

and best practices• First application was delivered

right on time & budget• Second and third applications

were delivered before time• Applications were awarded

“project of the year” reward• Application owners were

promoted

Customerkey reference points• Digital-rewrite had delivered

high code quality which wascustomized and optimized to.NET and our organization'sstandards

• The highest cost efficiency andshortest TTM

• Lowest bug rate of any projectthat the customer has beeninvolved with and therefore fastand short acceptance tests

• Smooth IT and end users shiftfrom old system onto the newmodernized system

• “I value the outcome and deliveryso much, that I want to share myexperience with others, so theymight enjoy this newmethodology as well”

• Multiple separate projects thatheighten the complexity level

• Dynamically generated code• Mixture of VB6 and .NET• Inter dependencies between

projects• Late binding• Shared files• Obsolete third party controls with

no .NET equivalent• VB6 to .NET memory disposal and

management challenges• Optimization to new .NET

environment, by code refactoring:retyping, naming conventions,VB6 variables etc

• Multiple integration & deploymentdependencies: new database,AS400 integration, services, etc

Key technological challenges

• Source control & multiple developers support• Dead code removal• Circular references auto resolution• Late binding to early .NET binding• VB6 memory management to .NET best practices• Standardizing both VB6 & older .NET to new, cross

application coding standards and patterns• Replacing obsolete third party controls with customer

selected .NET controls• Code re-factoring for .NET optimization:

• Renaming• Retyping• Dead code removal• Customization to modern organizational standards• Shared file creation• New data access layer• New APIs / layers extraction

• Action effect preview: before and after compilationerrors, for initial debugging

• Performance optimization• Initial unit testing and debugging• Auto app assembly and generation

Key tool-based features that were used to tackle the challenges

• Down to 15-25% of the budget & TTM compared to themost expensive alternative

• Around 1M lines of code were delivered on or beforetime & on budget• 6 months+ 2 for acceptance tests

• Customer involvement in the digital-rewrite process:2 management & technical man months

• QA by shared teams• High performing new Visual Studio 2013 C# app• Deployed on Win 8 / Oracle database• Deployed with existing services• Project of the year reward• Including a 2 month warranty

Alternatives evaluation • Manual rewrite which was dropped after

years of investment due to inability toreverse engineer business logic andsignificant budget and time overruns

• Digital rewrite by GizmoxTS - decision wasto perform POC + pilot. Both were evaluatedby the organization's own resources and byMicrosoft's consultants and were declared successful

Actual • Digital-rewrite:

• Scope: pilot of more than 400K lines of code• Customization to code, best practices and third party

components of choice• Delivery on time and budget, according to pre-agreed

milestones

Customer key reference points• Digital-rewrite had delivered high code quality which was

customized and optimized to the ASP.NET MVC architectureand to organizational standards

• It proved to be highly cost efficient and to have a short TTM• Lowest bug rate for acceptance of any project that the

organization has been involved with• Smooth IT and end users shift from the old system onto

a new modernized system
