== Features ==

OpenFrame's key features revolve around the ability to transition to the cloud with minimal disruption to business activities, including no change to the [[User experience|end-user experience]] and no need to review [[Legacy system|legacy]] code for efficiency.

TmaxSoft provides a timeline of typically less than one year for a complete transition.

TmaxSoft also asserts the benefits of OpenFrame include a lower [[total cost of ownership]] compared to maintaining a physical mainframe.
