How BMC AMI DevX modernizes code where it runs

BMC AMI DevX modernizes mainframe applications on the platform, following the ABC Method: Analyze, Build, Convert.

  • Analyze

    BMC AMI DevX Code Insights maps program execution, dependencies, and data flows, then generates formal requirements from production COBOL. BMC AMI Assistant translates COBOL, PL/I, JCL, and Assembler into plain language.

  • Build

    The platform extracts business logic from monoliths into modular components, removes dead code, and creates clean interfaces. Teams get an architecture they can own before any conversion begins.

  • Convert

    BMC AMI DevX Code Insights converts the components worth converting into clean, maintainable Java that interoperates with your existing COBOL. Automated testing proves the business rules underneath still hold.
