What is OpenLegacy?

OpenLegacy helps organizations quickly launch innovative digital services by extending their core back-end systems to the web, mobile and cloud in days or weeks versus months. Our microservice-enabled API integration and management software quickly reduces project backlog by automating and accelerating microservices and API creation, deployment, testing and management from core applications, mainframes and databases. Together, business and IT teams can quickly, easily and securely meet consumer, partner or employee demands for digital services without modernizing or replacing core systems, and without special programming skills or invasive changes to existing systems and architectures. OpenLegacy is designed for ongoing management of microservices APIs and is based on open standards, so our software plays nice with your current technology stack and supports agile, DevOps and continuous development.

I'd like to see OpenLegacy develop its low-code/no-code (LCNC) solutions. They've expanded somewhat their horizons for integration beyond mainframe CICS, which is their sweet spot. They have some tooling in that area, but it's not as good as it needs to be. OpenLegacy handles the bread-and-butter TP monitoring stuff, but I am working for one of the six banks in the United States still using the Hogan mainframe, which has a slightly proprietary mechanism. But OpenLegacy currently doesn't have a connector for Hogan. So it would help if they could build one. That would appeal to financial institutions that still use Hogan, like US Bank, Wells Fargo, KeyBank, and Vanguard.

I think the features of many solutions can be improved, but not all have to be and they are not all urgent. The thing we need most is better support. It is hard for us to deploy systems because support is not always available. They sell the product licenses but they do not think about how to support for those who have problems like us which are immediate and urgent. Other factors matter less than being able to resolve issues quickly. Not everything is negative. The user interface is a good one because the access to the features is not difficult. But for countries like mine and businesses like financial services, the pricing and consistent accessibility to an operational system is imperative. These are some problems and the support for them doesn't go far enough. When we have these problems with the system, we have big problems with our customers. It really bothers me when we need help and we need something or lost something and can't get access to help quickly. This really creates some big problems for us and we cannot handle them or do something about it right away.

Using OpenLegacy, the exposure of services is far easier and quicker. In many cases, exposure of services requires just a few clicks and takes only minutes. In very complex cases, it still only takes half a day. Without OpenLegacy, it would take us several months to create the same services. With OpenLegacy, it took only two clicks to get REST API to get to digital. We did a pilot and saw that it was easy to do. We can create REST APIs with a basic understanding of the mainframe's business logic, and without having significant Java knowledge. Using mainframe programs (not screens), the OpenLegacy services do not require any changes by the mainframe programmers, thus reducing development cycles. In addition, OpenLegacy gives us a unified way of “calling” the mainframe programs both in 3270 screens and programs. Digital is one of our biggest priorities and when we heard what OpenLegacy could do, we actually pursued them. Time to market is a big factor. OpenLegacy helps fill our requirement to go mobile and get more interactive between customers and our business via mobile.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"It is possible to connect a service to a mainframe program or back transaction in a matter of minutes or hours at the most."
"The biggest advantage of OpenLegacy was how simple the technology was. We were able to build out the OpenLegacy parts very quickly. We put together a couple hundred APIs in six months."
"It is possible to solve larger legacy API issues on an enterprise level with this product."

Room for Improvement

"The pricing of the solution could be more flexible and allow for once-off payment versus annual licensing. This would be more appealing to companies in Latin America."

"Customer support for the product is slow and not very good. It makes using the product difficult if you need help quickly."
