From our roots to your Future
For years, SMART TS XL has delivered deep insight into COBOL and JCL environments, establishing a strong and reliable foundation. That legacy remains important. However, enterprise architectures have expanded far beyond the mainframe. Modern systems now extend across cloud platforms, distributed services, contemporary repositories, and diverse data environments. The scope of visibility must expand accordingly.
SMART TS XL has advanced into a platform-agnostic powerhouse, designed to provide comprehensive visibility across the entire system landscape. It supports not only legacy environments but also the modern architectures shaping enterprise transformation.
Breaking the Silos (Distributed & Cloud) Your enterprise codebases no longer reside within a single environment. They are distributed across multiple platforms, repositories, and infrastructure layers. Analysis capabilities must reflect this reality by operating across the full system landscape rather than remaining confined to isolated environments.
SMART TS XL enables analysis of distributed applications across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos, and other modern repositories, bringing these ecosystems into a unified analytical view. The platform not only connects to these repositories but also ingests, indexes, and correlates them alongside legacy systems, creating a consistent and comprehensive perspective across the entire codebase. That means:
- Cross-platform search across all languages
- Instant visibility into dependencies across environments
- Lightning-fast analysis of millions of programs in seconds
No more fragmented tools. No more blind spots. Just one continuous view of your enterprise codebase.
The Middleware Map (Connecting Mainframe to Distributed)
Here’s where things get powerful. Most tools treat mainframe and distributed systems as separate worlds. SMART TS XL reveals the hidden bridge between them.
By analyzing middleware touchpoints such as Tivoli, MQSeries, APIs, and messaging layers, SMART TS XL reveals the underlying connections between systems that often remain undocumented.
Suddenly, you can:
- Trace a transaction from a mainframe COBOL program → through middleware → into a cloud-based microservice
- Understand true end-to-end impact before making changes
- Eliminate risk caused by “invisible” dependencies
This is not limited to analysis. It provides enterprise-wide clarity.
Feature Spotlight (AI Integration & User-Defined Catalogs)
Now consider what is new and significantly impactful.
AI Integration at Scale
SMART TS XL now enables you to run pre-configured AI prompts across hundreds or thousands of programs simultaneously. Imagine asking these questions and getting actionable answers instantly:
- “Where are financial calculations performed?”
- “Which programs contain regulatory logic?”
- “What code touches customer-sensitive data?”
User-Defined Catalogs: Your Knowledge, Organized
You’re no longer limited to generic classifications. You can create custom catalogs tailored to your business.
Use Case Spotlight: Financial Business Rules Catalog
Let’s say you want to identify and centralize financial logic across your enterprise.
With SMART TS XL, you can:
- Define a “Financial Business Rules” catalog
- Automatically scan all programs (mainframe + distributed)
- Extract and index the exact rules (calculations, thresholds, validations)
- Link them back to source code, databases, and documentation
What used to take months of manual effort now happens in minutes. This is where analysis becomes intelligence.
The “Only Tool You Need” (Code, Databases, Docs, Data)
SMART TS XL is not only a code analysis tool. It functions as an enterprise knowledge vault.
It’s the only platform that brings together:
- Code (mainframe,distributed, multi-language)
- Databases (SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, DB2, and more)
- Documentation (emails, files, specs)
- Raw data (structured and unstructured sources)
All indexed. All searchable. All connected. In a single pane of glass.
No switching tools. No stitching together insights. Just complete visibility across your entire ecosystem.
