What GT Software does

GT Software, operating under the trade name Adaptigent, is a U.S.-based enterprise software vendor founded in 1976 and headquartered in Winter Park, Florida (with an Atlanta, Georgia presence indicated in firmographic data). The company specializes in mainframe integration and modernization, building a platform-plus-modules architecture that connects legacy core systems — particularly COBOL, BMS, and 3270-based mainframes — to modern distributed and cloud environments without requiring code changes to the underlying systems. Its product surface centers on the Enterprise API Studio (a low-code platform for exposing core systems as APIs), Core Systems Integration, Enterprise Data Integration, and add-on modules including a Data Caching Engine (which reduces MIPS load), a COBOL Compiler, BMS Mapping, and 3270 Help Screens. A vertical-specific Open Banking APIs solution extends the platform into regulated financial services.

The company sells primarily to large enterprises in regulated industries — finance and banking, insurance, manufacturing, transportation, and government — where mission-critical legacy systems cannot be easily replaced. Named customers include Lockheed Martin, the United States Postal Service, General Electric, CareFirst, Nationwide, Federated Insurance, ABSA, ING, Volvo, ETS, Farm Bureau, and KPA Pension. Revenue is generated through enterprise software licensing on a subscription/recurring basis with custom quote-based pricing tied to infrastructure size and MIPS capacity. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting CIOs and CTOs, supported by content marketing, webinars, and a social-media presence under the Adaptigent brand. The company's value proposition centers on enabling real-time access to mainframe data, reducing mainframe operating costs, and modernizing without replacing decades-old mission-critical systems.

Core offering

GT Software (operating as Adaptigent) sells an enterprise mainframe integration and orchestration platform that connects legacy core systems to modern distributed environments via a dynamic, low-code API layer. Its Core Systems Integration and Enterprise Data Integration products, supplemented by add-on modules (Data Caching Engine, COBOL Compiler, BMS Mapping, 3270 Help Screens) and the Open Banking APIs solution, enable large regulated enterprises to access mission-critical data in real time without rewriting existing code.

Product overview

Adaptigent, a brand of GT Software, offers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on its core integration, orchestration, and automation platform called Enterprise API Studio. The platform enables enterprises to intelligently connect legacy systems (particularly mainframes) to modern distributed environments, creating a dynamic layer that allows modern applications to access data and transactions trapped in core systems. The product portfolio consists of Core Systems Integration and Enterprise Data Integration as primary offerings, supplemented by add-on modules including the Data Caching Engine, COBOL Compiler, BMS Mapping, and 3270 Help Screens. The solution is delivered through a low-code user interface that enables IT departments to integrate key systems with low-risk and repeatable workflows. The company also offers Open Banking APIs as a domain-specific solution for financial services organizations.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Core Systems Integration Provides real-time access to data on legacy systems without requiring code changes, enabling enterprises to integrate key systems with low-risk and repeatable workflows. Aimed at IT and integration teams at large enterprises with mission-critical mainframe environments.
• Enterprise Data Integration Creates access to core system data regardless of source or format, enabling organizations to extend large centralized data sources to edge applications and third-party systems without writing code.
• Data Caching Engine Reduces costs and lessens mainframe load by moving MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) processing overhead through intelligent data caching.
• COBOL Compiler Maintains compiler power and business logic for COBOL-based systems without expensive runtime dependencies.
• BMS Mapping Enables easy development and maintenance of BMS (Basic Mapping Support) maps for legacy terminal environments.
• 3270 Help Screens Builds and maintains efficient, user-friendly help systems for 3270 terminal interfaces.
• Enterprise API Studio A low-code API builder for core systems that enables enterprises to create APIs without writing a single line of code, allowing IT departments to integrate key systems through low-risk, repeatable workflows.
• Open Banking APIs Provides open banking API solutions enabling secure, real-time customer-facing applications for financial institutions, leveraging the core integration platform to expose core-system data and transactions.

Quantifiable outcome

• Reduces mainframe MIPS load and associated costs through data caching engine

Broad incumbents

• MuleSoft (Salesforce): Enterprise API and integration platform owned by Salesforce, providing broad iPaaS capabilities for connecting systems including legacy environments. Overlaps with Adaptigent on enterprise API enablement but targets a much wider customer base and cloud-native architectures.
• IBM (Cloud Pak for Integration / webMethods): IBM offers mainframe-aware integration tooling through webMethods and Cloud Pak for Integration, leveraging decades of IBM i and z/OS expertise. Direct competitor in mainframe-to-modern integration at large enterprises, but bundled into IBM's broader hybrid cloud portfolio.
• Confluent: Data streaming platform built on Apache Kafka, enabling real-time data movement between legacy and modern systems. Adjacent competitor in the real-time integration space but focused on event streams rather than mainframe API exposure.
• BMC Software: Provides mainframe systems management (MainView), workload automation, and IT operations tooling for z/OS environments. Adjacent competitor serving the same mainframe IT buyer with management rather than API integration capabilities.

Direct peers

• Rocket Software: Specialist vendor of mainframe modernization, COBOL tooling, and terminal emulation products serving enterprise IBM z/OS environments. Highly comparable in product focus (COBOL, terminal/3270) and customer base (regulated Fortune enterprises with legacy core systems).
• Micro Focus: Provides COBOL development tools, mainframe modernization, and enterprise application portfolio management. Direct overlap with Adaptigent's COBOL compiler and modernization offerings; merged into OpenText in 2023, providing incumbent scale.
• TmaxSoft: Provides mainframe re-hosting via OpenFrame and Tibero database products, enabling COBOL workloads to run on Linux/Unix. Direct competitor for legacy modernization where customers choose re-hosting over API-based exposure.

Emerging players

• Heirloom Computing: Specializes in COBOL-to-Java migration and mainframe re-platforming using a unique automatic recompilation technology. Competes for modernization budgets where Adaptigent plays but emphasizes full migration rather than non-disruptive API exposure.
• Astadia: Mainframe-to-cloud migration consultancy and tooling provider focused on re-platforming COBOL workloads to AWS and other clouds. Adjacent competitor in the broader mainframe modernization category with a more migration-centric approach.
• Workato: Enterprise automation and integration platform with low-code workflow capabilities serving similar IT buyer personas. Competes for the low-code integration budget though without mainframe specialization.
