Intel Spotlights MAKE Technologies at Oracle OpenWorld

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) August 27, 2008 -- MAKE will be featured as part of Intel's Inside Innovation Showcase at Oracle OpenWorld, demonstrating the latest capabilities of its legacy modernization platform in the form of a large interactive display, to be operated by show attendees with a wireless Nintendo Wii controller.

MAKE's Wu-Shin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushin) Legacy System Visual Navigator lets you interactively explore an integrated semantic database containing all the information generated during a modernization project, including code, data models, specifications, business processes, and videos of users interacting with the legacy system.

The semantic database is a key part of MAKE's Transformational Legacy Modernization (TLM) platform, incorporating all of the present case analysis assets of a legacy ecosystem, including mechanical and human interactions. As a semantic modernization technology, TLM goes beyond traditional 'modernization' approaches and deals with the meaning and purpose of the system within the organization.

The MAKE booth will also feature a demo of the TLM/Data Modernization product, which can be used standalone to transform a legacy data structure into a modern RDBMS (relational database management system).

"We are releasing Version 4 of our TLM platform in September," said Mik Lernout, Director of Technology at MAKE, "so we thought that OpenWorld and the Intel Inside Innovation Showcase (http://www.oracle.com/openworld/2008/intel.html) would be a great opportunity to introduce a key component of TLM to the IT community at large."

"Even though we're focusing our demo on the TLM Repository," Lernout continues, "TLM 4.0 has a boatload of new features: improved source code analysis, redesigned code generation, a modernization dashboard and integration of videos. The TLM 4 methodology and toolset is making it cheaper, easier and safer than ever to modernize your legacy system."

MAKE's booth will be located at: 3444 Moscone West - Inside Innovation - Space INS 6

OpenWorld (http://www.oracle.com/openworld/2008/index.html) runs from September 21 through 25 at San Francisco's Moscone Center.
