Why modernize your IBM i applications?
After all, they've been running well for years, handling millions of transactions per day. But they're not as agile as modern systems, and they don't always permit easy integration with newer technologies. In addition, it's getting difficult to find resources to maintain and enhance RPG and CL code. When it's time to look at alternatives, Fresche's iModernize is the premier choice.
iModernize rapidly transforms legacy IBM i (AS/400 – iSeries) programs to modern computing technologies such as Java and .NET to improve business agility, lower costs and enhance IT integration. A powerful IBM i modernization toolkit, it eliminates legacy languages and reduces dependence on increasingly rare and expensive skill sets.
The iModernize Analysis Tool reduces project risk by verifying the completeness of code and data received for conversion and by identifying any technology that cannot be migrated through automation, giving you the opportunity to plan accordingly.
iModernize translates RPG II, RPG III, ILE RPG and Free Form RPG at GENLVL0 as well as CL code, also parsing /COPY and /INCLUDE. iModernize takes care of the RPG Cycle and its special features, such as pointers, Query files, prototyped functions and embedded SQL.
As part of the migration process, a number of automated checks will be executed to ensure that the resulting software maintains a high standard of quality. In addition, the conversion maintains separation of the database, application logic, server functionality and user interface.
iModernize transforms legacy applications more quickly and for much lower cost than re-writing or re-architecting.
The advanced level of automation greatly reduces the possibility of human error during the transformation process.
iModernize enables you to convert your entire RPG and CL application environment to Java architecture.
iModernize boosts the level of integration throughout your organization by removing rigid legacy technology.
iModernize makes the valuable business logic in your IBM i applications available to newer systems.
The modernized environment is easier to work with and gives programmers more flexibility to align IT with changing business goals.
