French IT vendor Bull launched a solution this week it said would help rabidly modernize legacy applications at enterprises.

Called LieberTP, the software solution is a transaction processing monitor which enables enterprises to port either transaction processing applications to an open environment. This, according to Bull, gives them “room to maneuver”, both technically and financially, as they develop new projects.

Jean-François Bauduin, Innovative High-End Servers VP at Bull, said IT managers faced new challenges that were created by mobile computing and the Cloud. “As a result, they need to adapt their application infrastructure securely and cost-effectively.

“We designed Bull LiberTP with the aim of creating more room for maneuver. To achieve this, Bull's know-how in critical systems design was applied to Java environments.”

The solution makes corporate transaction processing applications accessible le via any mobile device. It ensures application scalability and high availability and meets the needs of transaction processing in the Cloud.

LieberTP simplifies administration of COBOL and C applications. IT departments using it can recruit Java-trained engineers and make their operations future-proof.
