How we support IBM CICS Transaction Gateway → MuleSoft Anypoint Platform after migration

✓Senior engineers run your CTG to MuleSoft migration.
✓Fixed-scope project: known cost and timeline.
✓Keep CICS mainframe transactions as modern REST APIs.
✓Leverage MuleSofts mainframe connectors natively.
✓24/7 US-based support during and after your move.
✓Post-migration managed services for ongoing success.

Skills shortage

Lack of staff with IBM CTG expertise. Your legacy middleware becomes a single point of failure.

Runaway licensing costs

High IBM MLC or sub-capacity licensing costs tied to CTG. Every quarter you wait, you burn budget.

Blocked by legacy protocols

Cloud migration mandates. You need modern APIs, but CTG binds you to proprietary protocols like EXCI and Sync Level 2.

IBM CICS Transaction Gateway → MuleSoft Anypoint Platform migration — your questions answered

What about my custom EXCI C programs and channels and containers?+

Not necessarily. Our engineers refactor CTG artifacts into MuleSoft flows. Custom EXCI C programs, channels and containers—most can be re-architected with your mainframe connectors.

Can you migrate stateful 2-Phase Commit transactions (Sync Level 2)?+

Yes. We handle Sync Level 2 two-phase commit transactions. Your critical CICS operations remain consistent during the migration.

How do I avoid a big-bang cutover?+

Vendor support stays active under your current contract. Migrate on your timeline—no forced cutover. If the renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on CTG, buying you more time.

Will this help reduce IBM software licensing costs?+

Yes. Those high IBM MLC costs drive many moves. Replace legacy CTG middleware and reduce mainframe software licensing overhead.

Own your future. Start today.

Finish your migration with confidence. We provide ongoing MuleSoft Platform administration, API performance optimization, and regular connector maintenance so your new environment stays healthy. This is the final step: move off legacy CICS Transaction Gateway middleware and into a future-ready API layer.
