About Us
23rd Century LLC is dedicated to the State and Local Government market, performing analysis of legacy source code systems and assisting with turning those old systems into modern, object-oriented, maintainable software. We can perform a comprehensive initial analysis and assessment of your old code, and give you a budget for moving that software to a modern platform. You’ve been told that COTS packages are the only alternative that lets you modernize affordably — this is simply not true. With COTS, you have to fit your operations to what the package does, or you have to pay to have it modified. We can give you fresh code that exactly fits your requirements, and the total cost of ownership is LESS than COTS!
We offer time and materials and fixed price engagements covering most of your software development needs, including:
- Enterprise Architecture
- Legacy Code Analysis
- Redevelopment and Modernization
- Software Engineering in Java, Python, and .NET
- Testing, QA and IV&V
We have proven methodologies for doing our work, and we follow CMMI Level 4 key practices to ensure that you get great software, rapidly delivered, and within budget.
We use Agile development methods, but we are fully versed in classical software engineering methodologies such as MIL-STD-498, Air Force SEP, MIL-STD-2167A, and similar waterfall, documentation-intensive approaches. For new development, our approach is very similar to IBM’s Deliberate Agile Delivery. Want to know how to combine the best of software engineering and Agile? Just ask us.
We use a variety of advanced software tools that are able to parse legacy programming language code and deliver a variety of analytical reports. The tools also “mine” the old code for information about the application and can automatically write a large percentage of the new code for a modernized version on a Linux or Unix platform, or on Microsoft technology as appropriate.
Platform and Solutions
Enterprise Architecture
What is Enterprise Architecture? Sometimes, it’s a very expensive book report that nobody pays attention to. But in our case, it is actionable. Pragmatic. We can define it with you, and then we have tools that can be tuned to write code that matches. If you’re thinking about modernization, we can help you define an Enterprise Architecture and then all of your legacy applications — in Oracle Forms, Powerbuilder, COBOL, Natural…. all of them can be modernized to fit that exact system. Piecemeal modernizations, system by system, just give you new stovepipes.
Don’t do that! Let us help you with standardization that makes sense.
IBM Mainframe
Your IBM mainframe is solid as a rock, very secure, and very expensive. Unfortunately, the technologies in use by modern software developers tend not to be well supported on that platform (although Java is available on z/OS). In short, it may be time to move.
Unisys Mainframe
We handle the entire line of Unisys Mainframe legacy languages and databases — including MAPPER, COBOL, and DMS-1100. We also handle those client-server applications that people in your shop put together to avoid the mainframe environment. We can make changes to your systems while we modernize, and the entire process is rapid and SOA-based.
