CON is a suite of integrated tools and methodologies which allow organizations to automatically gather and analyze data about legacy applications.
ICON provides powerful automatic processes to conduct complex searches of source-code, to estimate software complexity, and to correct or modify software elements with new generation editors.
ICON mines and stores the information in an easy to access SQL Repository using Oracle, MySQL or MS Access and analyzes and gathers information about legacy applications through an automatic process. Therefore, creating complex researches into a source-codeand building a clear picture on dependencies and interdependencies.
The product scans the software items (i.e. program, copybooks, JCL, etc.) and then stores the information into the ICON repository.
In essence, ICON is divided into three main modules:
1. The settings module is a user friendly interface which enables the setting of customization parameters, thus increasing the relevance of the measurements to be carried out. Also the user and batch commands editors, can be set up. Examples of parameters set, deal with the company and sector which the IT organization.
2. The building module initially creates an inventory repository of all applications, which are then individually read and analyzed, creating a repository of relevant object data.
Such data includes; field definitions, Instructions, Interdependencies, missing objects, redundant objects, syntax errors and indeed the complexity of the software.
The on board Parser, updates the respository as changes occur. This also entails troubleshooting facilities, enabling the user to analyse and address any errors detected in the software for example, the identification of missing objects.
3. The browsing module enables the client to view and analyze the data collected. The module enables analysis at several different levels of granularity from high level graphical illustrations, through to in depth detailed analysis of individual code objects.
With an exhaustive set of GUI controls users navigate the software and/or perform a complex research and an analysis on the code.

A sample high level report, summarising summed up reccmended stratgies for each application. This information provides the basis for creating a modernisation roadmap and creating a corrosponding ROI Forecast.
ICON runs in a client/server architecture on Windows, Linux and UNIX.
