With Oracle, mLogica provided expertise in managing and supporting Oracle database deployments, assisting clients in upgrading from legacy versions to newer, more efficient systems like Oracle Exadata. Simultaneously, the company worked with SAP to support enterprises running SAP R/3 and later SAP HANA, offering database optimization and support services. Beyond Oracle and SAP, mLogica collaborated with other tech giants such as IBM and Microsoft, tackling complex database environments such as Db2 and SQL Server. These partnerships enabled mLogica to build a reputation for handling intricate, mission-critical database workloads, positioning it as a trusted advisor for Fortune 1000 companies and setting the stage for its expansion into cloud-based modernization by the early 2010s.
Modernization Software Development (2010- 2018)
[edit]By 2010, mLogica recognized the limitations of traditional consulting-heavy approaches to IT modernization and shifted its focus toward developing proprietary migration software to address the growing complexity of enterprise database and application migrations. This period marked the inception and maturing of its automated software, with early versions of the STAR*M[5] suite emerging to streamline the migration of distributed databases and applications to more modern platforms. Initially targeting on-premises upgrades, these tools were designed to reduce human error, accelerate project timelines, and lower costs, an appealing proposition for clients still reliant on legacy systems like Sybase, Teradata, Informix, IBM Db2 and others. mLogica’s modernization engineers leveraged their deep database expertise, gained from years of working with Oracle, SAP, and other tech giants, to embed automation and compatibility features into the software, ensuring it could handle diverse workloads. By 2012, the company had successfully deployed these automated software tools in multiple high-profile engagements, earning accolades for cutting migration times by up to 50% compared to manual methods.
The period from 2013 to 2018 saw mLogica further refine its migration software portfolio and align it with the rise of cloud computing, a shift that catalyzed partnerships with major cloud service providers, such as, Amazon Web Services (AWS)[6], Google Cloud Platform[7], Microsoft Azure[8], and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure[9]. During this time, mLogica collaborated closely with AWS to support their customer migrations to the AWS cloud, and worked with Microsoft Azure focused on hybrid migrations blending on-premises SQL Server instances with Azure cloud services. Google Cloud Platform and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure partnerships further expanded the tools’ reach, supporting migrations to GCP and Oracle Autonomous Database, respectively. By 2018, these efforts had solidified mLogica’s reputation as a pioneer in automated cloud migration for enterprise, mission critical environments, with its software suites deployed across industries like finance and healthcare, serving clients eager to capitalize on the scalability and cost-efficiency of cloud platforms.
Modernization High Growth (2019 - Present)
[edit]Entering 2019, mLogica capitalized on its established expertise in migration software to drive further innovation, responding to the accelerating demand for cloud adoption and digital transformation across enterprises. The company’s STAR*M suite, already a mature solution for distributed workload migrations, underwent significant enhancements during this period, integrating with hyperscale cloud platforms and expanding its compatibility with emerging database technologies. The introduction of LIBER*M[10][11] in 2020, initially developed to modernize mainframe workloads, exemplified this evolution, enabling clients to transition COBOL-based applications to cloud-native environments with minimal rewriting. In 2021, mLogica acquired pioneering Italian mainframe technology firm Reverse Paradigm[12], as well as several other strategic purchases of key technology players and assets earlier that year.
By late 2021, mLogica introduced AI-powered code conversion features to both STAR*M and LIBER*M, a leap forward that leveraged machine learning to analyze, refactor, and translate legacy codebases and proprietary scripts, into modern languages like Java, Python, or SQL dialects compatible with cloud-native systems. This AI-driven approach reduced migration timelines by up to 70% and minimized errors, reflecting a natural progression from mLogica’s earlier rule-based automation to intelligent, adaptive solutions tailored to the complexities of modern IT landscapes.
A critical advancement in mLogica’s LIBER*M platform[13] was its AI-powered capability to address the "Last Mile Challenge[14][15]" in mainframe modernization, the persistent barrier posed by exotic legacy languages like Assembler, Telon, PL/1, and Easytrieve. These languages, deeply embedded in industries such as government and financial services, often jeopardize migration efforts due to their complexity and lack of direct modern equivalents; without converting them, migrations risk stalling or failing entirely, leaving critical workloads stranded on outdated systems. LIBER*M’s AI-driven code conversion engine overcame this hurdle by leveraging machine learning to analyze and transform Assembler’s low-level instructions, PL/1’s procedural constructs, and Easytrieve reporting logic into cloud-compatible languages like Java or C#.
IBM Transactional Processing Facility (TPF) has long been a trusted platform for high-volume transaction processing, but maintaining these legacy systems has become increasingly costly and complex. mLogica’s AI-powered technologies provide a seamless transition from IBM TPF to the cloud, unlocking scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency. Our automated tools, including LIBER*DAHLIA and LIBER*TULIP[16], offer a streamlined, repeatable process for refactoring legacy code, reducing migration timelines and risks.
From 2022 onward, mLogica’s growth trajectory accelerated as its AI-enhanced STAR*M and LIBER*M platforms gained traction among Fortune 1000 clients and public sector organizations. The integration of AI not only refined code conversion but also enabled predictive analytics within the tools, allowing them to anticipate compatibility issues and optimize performance post-migration. Partnerships with major cloud providers, such as AWS, GCP, Azure and OCI, deepened during this period, with mLogica achieving advanced partner status with AWS and collaborating on joint solutions like mainframe-to-Aurora migrations. By 2025, the company had completed over 1,000 modernization projects globally, with its AI-powered platforms earning recognition in industry reports like the 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ for their role in bridging legacy systems to cutting-edge cloud and data ecosystems. This phase underscored mLogica’s evolution from a database consultancy to a leader in AI-driven IT transformation, cementing its position at the forefront of enterprise modernization.
