Systems Introduces Free Asset Inventory Campaign for Commercial UNIX EOS

Systems, a pioneering migration provider headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is officially launching the third phase of its free asset inventory campaign starting September 2026. This initiative is titled "Commercial UNIX EOS Mitigation Campaign: Free Asset Inventory" and follows the success of previous campaigns focused on VB and Delphi assets that garnered considerable attention from various businesses.

Campaign Overview

Beginning in September 2026, the new campaign aims to assist companies facing the End of Support (EOS) deadlines for their existing applications running on commercial UNIX platforms such as Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX. Utilizing Systems' proprietary tools, the campaign will visualize application assets and analyze the complexities and challenges involved in migrating to cloud solutions or modern open environments. This will provide businesses with a solid roadmap for system modernization.

Addressing The Urgent Need for Legacy System Updates

The commercial UNIX systems, prevalent from the 1990s through the early 2000s, are now entering an era of rapid EOS as hardware and OS support ceases. For many organizations, the systems in place have become "black boxes," stable yet fraught with challenges, including:

• - Vendor Dependency and Rising Maintenance Costs: Companies face increased operational costs due to reliance on proprietary hardware and software.
• - Aging Workforce and Knowledge Gaps: The technical documentation for critical systems is scarce, complicating maintenance and innovation efforts.
• - Obstacles to Cloud Migration and Digital Transformation: The compatibility of existing systems with modern cloud solutions and public cloud services remains uncertain, leading to stagnation in modernization efforts.

To alleviate these issues, Systems aims to empower companies grappling with EOS uncertainties through a thorough assessment facilitated by their extensive migration experience and visualization technology.

What the Campaign Offers

Participants will benefit from a systematic evaluation of their commercial UNIX systems. This includes:

1. Comprehensive Visualization of Application Assets: The campaign will provide a detailed overview of the existing application landscape, including step counts, file counts, interdependencies, and identification of redundant or unused assets.
2. Evaluation of Migration Challenges to Modern Open Environments: It will assess the migration difficulties tied to specific programming languages and proprietary components to help organizations prepare for transition.
3. Customized Roadmap for System Upgrades: Using risk-minimized approaches, Systems will suggest optimal methods for system re-hosting or re-writing tailored for each organization’s needs.

Online Pre-Session for Interested Parties

To facilitate understanding and engagement, Systems will also hold an "Online Pre-Session" for those interested in learning more about the campaign. This is particularly aimed at organizations wanting to check their eligibility and view case studies or sample reports before committing to the program. Clients will have the chance to discuss directly with migration experts and clarify their doubts before embarking on the asset inventory process.
