Smart TS xl is a web based, easy to use, lightening fast enterprise IT asset management product that gives an organization the ability to discover, manage and relate informational assets from mainframe and distributed systems across the enterprise.

Smart TS xl's patented technology allows the processing of millions of lines of code and other informational components in seconds while building a comprehensive view of the entire enterprises applications, structure and relationships.

Smart TS xl is used by Fortune 500 companies to speed application changes, speed the development lifecycle and discover IT assets.

Enterprise Information Asset Management

Smart TS xl gives an enterprise the ability to capture and analyze across applications, source code and other critical data as well as associated information and intellectual capital such as word, excel or e-mail documents and create relationships between the data. For example, relationships in Smart TS xl can be made between existing source code and a developer or analyst's documentation with the objective of:

• Reducing cost and complexity
• Improving maintenance of existing applications
• Knowledge based operations

Smart TS xl supports a wide variety of data sources such as:

IT Discovery and Analysis

Smart TS xl accelerates and automates the discovery of informational assets, minimizing the effort in the development cycle as well as with application maintenance tasks, which represent over 70% of IT budgets. The automatic discovery phase facilitates:

• Quality analysis of programs regarding legacy systems or applications
• The creation of a detailed inventory of the entire application portfolio
• The discovery process and relationship intelligence enables impact analysis across the enterprise
• Application Integration - Identify all interdependencies between programs and systems
• Reduce testing with Smart TS xl - bug fixes are easy to locate and fix across the enterprise by finding the associated information and all relationships in seconds
• Support staff can identify bugs in jobs, applications and programs
• Analyze the complexity instantly of your programs using industry best practice methods
• Smart TS xl's ability to manage the entire enterprise application portfolio makes it easier to identify the scope of projects. Project management is significantly improved by having one data repository for all data sources across the enterprise.

Application Modernization and Reengineering

Smart TS xl is the missing link in IT Discovery for application modernization and reengineering issues related to mergers and acquisitions activities or due to software package implementation and integration. Application modernization initiatives require the process of discovering IT assets within the enterprise and understanding how those assets are being used. Smart TS xl gives the enterprise the information necessary to:

• Discover applications and production data for migration of applications to new systems or platforms
• Transform existing applications by finding specific code and data fields
• Redevelop applications built on older architectures to new architectures by extracting relevant information

Outsourcing

In an outsourcing strategy Smart TS xl enables the in-depth analysis and documentation of the application properties, structures and interdependencies. Smart TS xl can help companies identify actual costs and effort required for application maintenance and enhancement. Smart TS xl also gives an organization the ability to determine the complexity of the system being outsourced as well as to continuously assess the quality of code.
