Spectrum Systems, Inc. presents ALTOS, the only solution for automated re-hosting of legacy UNISYS applications that consist of components written in both Unisys COBOL and ALGOL. The ALTOS set of tools automatically converts Unisys ALGOL applications into C++, IBM and Unisys extended COBOL applications into Java, and provides run time support for the converted applications on a variety of target platforms - including multiple flavors of Linux, UNIX, and Windows. 

ALTOS has been used to successfully convert and deploy into production large, mission critical financial applications

ALTOS transforms legacy Unisys COBOL and ALGOL, and IBM COBOL applications into open, expandable systems that run on inexpensive commodity hardware/software. Converted applications preserve an organizations' intellectual and operational investment into their legacy applications.

Business processes and  operations stay untouched. ALTOS changes only the underlying technology, while providing organizations with all of the benefits of running a modern system that is based on industry standards and widely available technologies  

Operational savings alone from ALTOS conversion may amount to tens of millions of dollars annually

The technology is proven. Financial applications converted with ALTOS process transactions worth trillions of dollars a day. Experience shows that converted code is robust and performs better than original ALGOL/COBOL code. The number of detected problems per line in converted software is two orders of magnitude less than in newly developed code. The entire conversion effort takes a small fraction of time and cost that would be needed to re-write a legacy system.

When compared to continued legacy application operation or development of a new application to replace it, ALTOS is by far the most cost effective option - both financially and in man-hours
