We recommend that the first application(s) you modernize with NeoKicks should not be too large, should be self-contained and should use standard CICS file I/O or DB2 SQL commands. The choice of such applications allows you to become acquainted with the NeoKicks environment and the best legacy modernization techniques to use, without the distractions of the complexities of migrating large, interrelated systems or dealing with nonstandard database structures. Once you have modernized a smaller, self-contained application, you can then take on bigger and more complex application modernizations.
