The modern mainframe

If you imagine outdated machines from the Moon landing era, it is time to talk to us. Mainframes remain among the most powerful platforms available - and many organisations still depend on them for core operations.

For more than 20 years we have worked in public, finance, and industrial sectors - from planning through deployment and monitoring. That experience covers legacy transformation and migration, application development and testing, and methods that reduce change risk while improving delivery speed.

Replacing legacy systems is costly and carries high operational risk. Capyx Group helps organisations maintain and evolve these environments into open components fully integrated in the wider IT landscape - connecting legacy code to modern channels while preserving what works.

Asist brings the niche expertise many teams lack in-house: IBM software development and operations, optimization, and modernization without disrupting core processes.

  • COBOL, PL/I, RPG, REXX and related stacks
  • Legacy transformation, migration, and release management
  • Application development, testing, and source code management
  • Connect legacy workloads to modern channels
  • Performance, load, security, and usability testing
  • Attracting and coaching new mainframe talent
  • Engineering tools and preferred IBM partnerships

Trusted by leading organisations

Financial institutions and enterprises across Belgium and Europe rely on Asist for engineering tooling integration, specialist mainframe capacity, and long-running modernization programs. From day-to-day operations to multi-year transformation roadmaps, teams choose us for deep IBM Z expertise, hands-on delivery, and a partnership model that keeps critical systems stable while capability grows.

With Asist, AG Insurance found a reliable and flexible partner in the evaluation and integration of IBM Rational Developer for System z. Local proximity, in-depth product knowledge, and a tight IBM partnership create important value for us as a client. AG Insurance
