Programming : Legacy

Legacy languages comprise the largest installed software base. We provide program modifications and enhancements, as well as translation to more modern systems.

Expertise in:

Ada
A programming language, based on Pascal and developed for the U.S. Department of Defense. Ada is a large, complex, block-structured language aimed primarily at embedded applications. It has facilities for real-time response, concurrency, hardware access and reliable run-time error handling. In support of large-scale software engineering, it emphasises strong typing, data abstraction and encapsulation. The type system uses name equivalence and includes both subtypes and derived types. Both fixed and floating-point numerical types are supported.

US Army - Department of Defense Systems and Applications
NASA - Satellite Ground Station Control Systems and Applications

COBOL
COBAL (Common Business Oriented Language) was the first widely-used high-level programming language for business applications. Many payroll, accounting, and other business application programs written in COBOL over the past 35 years are still in use, and it is possible that there are more existing lines of programming code in COBOL than in any other programming language. While the language has been updated over the years, it is generally perceived as out-of-date and COBOL programs are generally viewed as legacy applications.
