ITP-PANORAMA

• PANORAMA provides ongoing up-to-date
  documentation and a view of entire applications
  allowing analysts to quickly extract and update
  embedded business logic and also determine all
  dependencies and impact of a pending change
  generally in seconds rather than hours or days.

good, because they did not know what was going on

What would it mean if

• You could do impact analyses with No risk of
  missing any interdependency
• You had a daily updated documentation of all your
  applications ?
• Alfter a scan, all dead code, open links, etc
  were fully identified?
• You could see the impact of a simple change in a
  second and know nothing was missed?
• You could perform simple searches in a second and
  know nothing could be missed?
• You could follow the value chain through all
  applications and programs step by step?

8
What would it mean if

• You could be certain that all business processes
  of your legacy software would be still supported
  after a migration?
• Full training took only four hours experts
  not needed.

9
ITP An Application Maintenance Mining System

• Maps all your source code into memory (passive
  repository in PC/server)
• You can perform searches and risk free impact
  analyses at speeds usually well over 100 times
  faster than your current performance
• Unique Hypercube in memory architecture
  enables these performance levels
• Risk free because all dependencies between
  each and every element of code are cross checked
  and mapped.
• You will know your code better than ever with
  complete documentation

10
ITP An Application Mining System

• Identifies all bugs, dead code, open links, etc
  making cleaning the code very simple and risk
  free
• Advanced user interface includes Data Flow
  Analysis, Pivot Tables, etc
• Supports most languages and platforms
• Our users report annual SW maintenance savings
  of approx. 30

Cleaning the Source Code before making any
Changes

• Scanning
• Compiling
• Cross Reference Checking

Challenges in an IT shop that ITP-PANORAMA helps
to solve

• Complex Legacy applications with tens of millions
  of LOC
• Documentation not complete or up to date
• Costs of change requests too high
• Developers have too much knowledge in their minds
• Loss of knowledge if developers leave or retire
• It is difficult to find experienced developers

16
Challenges in an IT shop that ITP-PANORAMA helps
to solve

• Long training period before new developers get
  productive
• Back-log of change requests
• Time to market too long
• Pressure to reduce cost
• Dependent on outsourcing providers
• Operational Risk by losing control of the
  software

So, what does PANORAMA mean to you!

• You are getting daily updated technical
  documentation of all of your software with all
  details
• Scanning the software means
• Compiling all programs (same checks as e.g. the
  IBM compiler does)
• Cross reference checking of all references across
  all applications
• No interdependence is missed in the entire
• IT system.
• Entries on the error list with references where
  the error occurred

21
So, what does PANORAMA mean to you?

• After four hours of training your developers save
  90 of analysis time and see in less than a
  second the impact of a change of any selected
  entity with all linkages over the entire IT
  system.
• Graphics make your software transparent and easy
  to understand
• With the unique Dataflow Analysis you can follow
  the value chain of a variable through
  applications and programs

22
Transparent Applications

• Searches are
• Non hierarchical
• Top down and bottom-up
• All analyses/searches are always
• 100 correct
• 100 comprehensive
• 100 reliable
• What you can not find by mouse-
• click or wild-card in the repository
• does not exist in the scanned code.

Because developers can make themselves familiar
with applications in a short period of time, a
Software Factory can be established

  1721Reference Experiences with ITP-PANORAMA
•  
• Juergen,
•  
• Gladly I give a short testimonial about our usage
  of PANORAMA
•  
• PANORAMA was chosen 2007 after an international
  evaluating process. In the race were three other
  vendors.
• PANORAMA did convince us, because
• a) It is meant for developers (while other
  products seemed more made for managers),
• b) It is able to handle our volume of source
  code,
• c) The response-time allows real-time analysis
  and  
• d) The price/performance ratio is unique.
• The training of our developers was done in a
  short period of time because the drill-down in
  the HyperCube
• was a familiar way to limit the regarded
  volume, which developers are knowing from data
  base researches.
• I would like to particular emphasize the support
  we are getting from ITP with immediate response
  to our
• inquiries and patches are mailed in the
  shortest possible time. We also enjoy the ongoing
  extension of

Benchmark test at an insurance company showed
that a complex search on the host took 17 minutes
and was charged by the computer center with

Offloading Software Analysis from the host and
cleaning code will gain MIPS for Production and
reduce MLC.
The same analysis on a server with ITP-PANORAMA
took 2 minutes with costs not worth mentioning
27
ITP Technology cuts Costs and raises Quality

BMW made a Benchmark Test with and without
ITP-PANORAMA. Two developers had to find all the
programs in a total number of 7,500 that had to
be changed if a data field was extended by 3
digits.

Thirty Day Proof of Concept

• This will tell you a lot more then you ever knew
• about your applications
• We come to your site and
• Install ITP-PNORAMA,
• Scan a complex application (10M LOC),
• Show all incompatibilities (bugs),
• Train your development team,
• Let your team work with
• 5 multi-user licenses for 30 days.

US Finance Institution made this Comment after
the Software Check
After completing a 30-day trial of ITP-Panorama,
we had to revert back to the old, slower and
painful ways of performing impact analysis. It
was like giving someone a Ferrari for 30-days and
then asking them to settle for a scooter from now
on. I cannot imagine we have ever had so much
success with a trial copy of software. Were
starting the purchase process right away. Bob

ITP-PANORAMA can help you to master your
Challenges

• Are these your Challenges?
• How many of your developers will retire in 2012?
• How can you save the valuable knowledge that they
  have in their minds?
• Having Millions of LOC consisting of tens of
  thousands of programs, how can you be sure that
  an impact of a change is not overlooked?
• After 30 years of constantly changing your
  software with generations of developers, how many
  of no longer used copybooks, macros, includes or
  modules are in your version control system?

36
ITP-PANORAMA can help you to master your
Challenges

• Do you have pressure to reduce cost of software
  maintenance?
• Do you carry an application back log?
• Is it difficult to deliver all the change
  requests on time?
• Quality of your change process is not as high as
  it needs to be?
• Do you want to retire legacy and replace them
  with canned applications?
• Do you really know the business processes that
  are supported?

V18
37
ITP-PANORAMA can help you to master your
Challenges

• What, if there were a way to.
• Have technical documentation of all your
  applications (legacy and modern)?
• See all open links and missing modules to ensure
  that you can compile all programs?
• Find and clean your apps from dead code?
• Get full transparency over all legacy apps?
• See the impact of a change in seconds?
