挑战
IMT Group 是一家领先的中西部财产与意外事故保险公司，其核心应用程序严重依赖大型机。然而，大型机应用程序环境正在转型。该公司的大型机转型战略有两个主要目标。一是重新平台化选定的应用程序，这一过程需要对当前大型机代码进行深入分析。它需要完整而准确地识别“死代码”——多年来已不再使用但仍存在于源代码中的应用程序部分。另一个主要目标是融合大型机和非大型机环境。这种融合之所以发生，是因为该公司较新的基于 Web 和移动的应用程序依赖于后端大型机资源。这两个战略目标都要求开发人员对高度复杂的大型机应用程序的结构和运行时行为有清晰、完整的了解，这些应用程序多年来经历了许多变化，而且并不总是有完善的记录。
关于客户
IMT 集团成立于 1883 年，总部位于得梅因，是一家领先的中西部财产和意外伤害保险公司，资产超过 3 亿美元。与许多规模和历史相似的公司一样，IMT 的核心应用程序严重依赖大型机。该公司的大型机应用程序环境正在转型，其战略重点是重新平台化精选应用程序并融合大型机和非大型机环境。这是因为该公司较新的基于 Web 和移动的应用程序依赖于后端大型机资源。因此，IMT 的大型机和非大型机开发人员必须共同努力。
解决方案
大约 20 年来，IMT 一直在广泛使用 Compuware 的大型机解决方案。这些解决方案包括 Xpediter 和 File-AID。最近，IMT 扩展了 Compuware Topaz 套件的部署，包括 Topaz Workbench、Topaz for Enterprise Data 和 Topaz for Program Analysis，重点关注 Runtime Visualizer 功能。这些解决方案提供了高度直观的图形环境，可用于编写和审查代码、了解代码在生产中的行为以及了解大型机环境中不同应用程序和数据源之间的关系。广泛的 Topaz 套件为 IMT 提供了几项重要的新功能，包括拖放应用程序代码和文件管理、跨语言的通用外观、具有不同技能的开发人员之间的简化协作以及快速、轻松地识别“死代码”。

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
