HCLTech, a leading global technology company, announced the launch of its Automated Technology Modernization Accelerator (ATMA), an automated code transpiler that significantly accelerates the modernization of legacy programs. The automated modernization solution helps enterprises significantly reduce dependencies on application subject matter experts for transition from legacy platforms. The deployment can lead to reduction of up to 70% in effort and modernization costs while delivering high-quality applications on the latest technology stacks with consistent design patterns, coding and architecture standards. The solution is available on the AWS Solution Consulting Offers for purchase and deployment.  "The full value of legacy modernization comes from approaching it not as one-off tactical decisions but as part of a holistic strategy to enable digital transformation at scale,” said Shyam Enjeti, Executive Vice President, Digital Business Services, HCLTech. “At HCLTech, we have invested heavily in building a comprehensive suite of products to aid automated IT modernization and also refined the

Materialise, a global leader in 3D printing software and service solutions, announced its Process Control software for metal 3D printing and introduced the Build Processor Software Development Kit (BP SDK). The new solutions enable additive manufacturing (AM) users to take full control of the 3D printing process by using automated quality control and customizing their 3D printer parameters. AM service providers are being challenged to meet growing demands and expectations in terms of part quality and competitive pricing. A key element of this task is to monitor and control the 3D printing process. However, AM users are missing the right tools and suffer from failed builds, hidden defects inside of their parts, and standard 3D printing parameters that don’t support their AM applications. This wastes machine time, material, and post-processing capacity, leading to unnecessary costs. One step ahead with automated quality control Materialise Process Control enables manufacturers to introduce quality control using data gathered during
