HUD's Unisys mainframe platform and legacy COBOL applications were expensive to maintain and updates were challenging. They urgently required a solution that would disrupt the continued reliance and burden of these legacy systems. HUD is now successfully transforming the Unisys applications to the cloud using automated code conversion, automated database migration, and automated regression and performance testing.
