The Challenge

  • Legacy-Centric Complexity
    The project involved development in COBOL, PL/I, IMS/DB, and CICS, which required deep
    domain knowledge and precision engineering to ensure performance and stability.
  • Multi-Phase Delivery & Milestone Validation
    The client needed agile delivery across four phases, each tightly scheduled and evaluated
    through formal entry/exit criteria and business validations.
  • Automation Readiness and Team Enablement
    The internal IT team required both modern tooling support and upskilling in automation
    practices to ensure long-term sustainability of the solution.

Our Approach: Structured Delivery with Skill Empowerment

To meet the client’s expectations and ensure scalable delivery, we deployed a hybrid development
and enablement strategy with the following components:

  • Custom Application Development using COBOL, PL/I, DB2, IMS/DB, and CICS
    VRNexGen’s expert team developed robust mainframe modules aligned with the client’s
    architecture and academic workflows, ensuring seamless system integration.
  • Defined Success Gates and Quality Metrics
    For each phase, we established entry and exit criteria, enabling quality control checkpoints
    to validate that all functional and business requirements were met before progressing.
  • Process Automation with REXX and CLIST
    To reduce repetitive tasks and improve operational efficiency, we implemented automation
    scripts using REXX and CLIST, accelerating testing, reporting, and deployment.
  • Up-skilling Through Targeted Training
    We conducted hands-on sessions to train the client’s internal team on modern automation
    tooling and best practices, ensuring smooth handoff and long-term maintainability.
