RPG Application Modernization

Modernizing your investments in AS/400, iSeries, or System i RPG applications, will enable you to get closer to your customers, increase your market agility, improve your ability to innovate, and integrate better with suppliers, customers, and business partners. Independent studies indicate that RPG application modernization can enable enterprises to reduce business expenses and improve the flow of information between customers, business partners, and employees.

And if you are an ISV selling a RPG-based solution, modernizing your application to the .NET platform will enable you to significantly open new markets and increase your base of prospects for your solution.

Integration with Customers and Partners

According to Gartner, nearly 90% today’s enterprises support a mixed or “heterogeneous” IT architecture and nearly all iSeries shops must find ways to integrate with the Microsoft Windows environment.  Enabling high performance access to OS/400 UDB DB2 from Windows or .NET Web applications can be challenging.  ASNA provides high performance access to iSeries data from Windows or Web applications.

Applications running in the Microsoft Windows environment are everywhere.  Gartner reports that 90% of enterprises supporting AS/400, iSeries, or System i5 RPG applications are also supporting Windows applications on both the desktop and at the server level.  With ASNA System i Expansion and Modernization Service, integrating, maintaining, and extending RPG applications into the Windows .NET framework is quick, reasonably priced and reliable.

ASNA System i Expansion and Modernization Service utilizes a stepwise approach for evolving the RPG assets of your iSeries/System i5 IT portfolio.  Applications developed using RPG are often key components of business operations and performance and cannot be considered disposable.

The ASNA System i Expansion and Modernization Service leverages the skills of current development teams, retains the logic of the original programs, and requires a very small fraction of the time and resource required using any other approach.

Rewriting, purchasing off the shelf applications that don’t fit the business needs, or learning to reprogram in Java is not necessary!
