ASG-Estimate™
for Managing Mainframe Projects

ASG-Estimate is the project definition and estimation application of ASG-Existing Systems Workbench™ (ESW®), an integrated life cycle solution for managing your organization’s existing systems.

Estimate uses the Analytical Engine™ to populate the Application Knowledge Repository™ (AKR™), so that your organization has instant access to a wealth of information about its applications.
