Vancouver, BC August 12, 2008 -- MAKE Technologies has launched a new web site with an innovative offering: the ability for organizations to acquire a rapid estimate of any modernization project.

By inputting key metrics, such programming language, lines of source code, database platform, number of use cases, number of screens and so on, MAKE is able to provide a reliable estimate to replace the legacy system with a modern Java EE/SOA system. Site visitors simply need to click on the Get an Estimate tab and fill out the form to receive an estimate within two business days.

The new web site also features an innovative structure, based the industry-leading Wordpress blogging platform. In addition to MAKE's corporate blogging site, http://gotlegacy.net, the entire regular web site is now fully bloggable.

"What this means is that almost every page is now a place for conversations," states Chris Dollard, Director of Communications for MAKE Technologies. "Instead of just reading static product descriptions, we encourage site visitors to create conversations with the commenting blog feature. Almost every page on the site is bloggable, so our customers and partners can interact and contribute to the conversations regarding how our Transformational Legacy Modernization (TLM) platform can help organizations overcome their legacy system headaches at lower cost and risk than any other approach."

According to leading industry analyst firms such as Gartner Group, IDG and Forrester Research, legacy systems are becoming a significant barrier to adopting business-agile information technology (IT) services for most established organizations.

"With this new site," Dollard continues. "We're now able to invite IT managers and CIOs to plug in their metrics and get a more reasonable idea as to what they're facing. We're confident that when they profile their system within the context of our TLM modernization platform, they'll be pleasantly surprised at the result."
