Key findings of the ISG Provider Lens^TM report on FreeSoft:

FreeSoft applies a holistic methodology and provides solutions for modernizing complete applications. Its main offering is automated transformation to Java, cloud and finally microservices. It converts complete applications, including database and application source code, and creates the elements of a new Java application with a standard architecture.
Highly automated legacy transformation and modernization approach. FreeSoft covers all project phases in cloud or on-premises infrastructures. The highest level of automation is applied in any processes that are running in more iterations to mitigate risk of manual tasks, including language transformation. That provides predictability for the most sensitive and complex process within mainframe migration projects, which is the code transformation part.
Excellent tools: FreeSoft is a small team with proven experience and uses its proprietary modernization framework the LiberatorWorkbench^TM. Consequently, it maintains and continuously develops its tools to support more legacy technologies and the latest standards in Java. Code quality, maintainability is managed with standards like SonarQube and checks are part of our conversion pipelines. The converted code is high quality Java for humans, maintainable with standard skills, standard tools, and applying OO patterns.
