Assessment

This offering provides a detailed review of a CORBA application. The assessment determines and scores the application’s support, operation, migration and/or modernization challenges, while documenting critical aspects of the application’s VisiBroker implementation.

Health Check

This service provides an analysis of the overall health of the target application including performance, maintenance history and a high level inspection of the code. The Health Check is less in-depth than the Assessment.

Documentation and Design Review

Documentation and Design Review is offered to clients that want to better document an application’s function and understand how the application’s design impacts the application’s function.
