Abstract
There has been an assessment done in this paper of a large credit card company’s software reengineering project. This organization is currently involved in its MIS migration from a legacy system built in late 60s on mini-frame using DB2 database on both COBOL and RPG to Microsoft Dot-Net technology. The new GUI system is to be built with more user friendly access to get more information on one screen rather jumping in between various black and white screens and waist the important time of both the staff and the card users as well as the merchants using the merchant services provided. There has been a practical experimentation given in this paper to provide the credit card service provider organization to convert legacy system to an efficient GUI system.
