Proven WebSphere to Liberty Migration with Senior Engineers
Yes, migrating IBM WebSphere Application Server to IBM WebSphere Liberty is a well-understood project. Here is how it works: fixed scope, senior engineers, no forced cutover.
The lowest-cost way off IBM WebSphere Application Server: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support IBM WebSphere Application Server → IBM WebSphere Liberty after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope projects: 2-4 months, 2-3 senior engineers.
- ✓No forced cutover — vendor support stays active.
- ✓40-70% savings on legacy platform support if renewal lapses.
- ✓Near-zero API rewrite for cloud-native density.
- ✓24/7 US-based support throughout your move.
Soaring WAS Costs Slow Cloud Adoption
Your IBM WebSphere Application Server licensing costs keep climbing. Cloud mandates require lightweight containerized runtimes like IBM WebSphere Liberty, but you are stuck with a slow, expensive legacy platform.
Developer Friction Blocks Agile Delivery
Your developers are frustrated by slow startup times on traditional WAS. They need the speed and density of Liberty, but legacy proprietary APIs (com.IBM.WebSphere.security) and direct SIBus bindings block the path.
Renewal Deadlines Create Migration Pressure
You fear hitting a vendor renewal deadline mid-project. Do not worry — vendor support stays active for your current contract. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most issues, buying you migration time without an expensive renewal.
IBM WebSphere Application Server → IBM WebSphere Liberty migration — your questions answered
What happens to my vendor support during the migration?+
You remain under IBM vendor support for as long as your current contract is active. If that renewal lapses, our independent third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy platform, so you complete the move without pressure to pay a full renewal.
Will my legacy proprietary APIs block the move?+
Often yes. Legacy APIs like com.IBM.WebSphere.security, direct SIBus bindings, and WS-Notification or EJB 2.x engines require targeted rework. Our assessment identifies these early, and we plan the conversion scope accordingly.
How long does a WebSphere traditional to Liberty conversion take?+
Most projects run 2-4 months with a team of 2-3 senior platform engineers. Budgets typically range from $50,000 to $300,000, fixed scope.
How do I start a WebSphere to Liberty migration?+
Use the free WAS to Liberty Migration Assessment. Our senior engineers review your environment, identify blockers like legacy APIs or SIBus bindings, and deliver a migration guide with a firm fixed-price quote.
Ongoing Liberty Management & Optimization
Once your IBM WebSphere Liberty environment is live, keep it optimized. Our ongoing container management and platform optimization services ensure your deployment stays fast, secure, and cost-efficient. From traditional WAS to Liberty conversion, we handle the entire lifecycle — assessment, migration, and post-migration support.
