How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
Application migration is a daunting, intimidating task. Its scope and complexity make it very hard for many managers to grasp where and how to start an application migration. To mitigate this seemingly overwhelming task, ASNA Monarch provides a stepwise approach to RPG migration. ASNA WingsRPG empowers you to migrate your RPG applications in manageable steps.
What is ASNA Wings?
WingsRPG transforms IBM i green-screens (display files) into modern, attractive, browser pages. ASNA WingsRPG quickly and effectively gives your users the user experience they desire, with no disruptive changes to your RPG programming logic.
For customers wanting to ultimately migration their RPG to .NET, WingsRPG is often a superb first, independent, migration step. Display files (and any customization or other changes made to them) can later be easily used ASNA Monarch during a full migration. ASNA Wings empowers you to migrate your RPG applications in manageable steps.
Because Wings is a stand-alone, there is no up-front commitment to later using its modernized displays with Monarch. Should you decide that improving your RPG system of record’s user interfaces resolves your primary business challenge, you can stop there.
Wings provides a superb first-step into a full RPG application migration
To produce its browser pages, WingsRPG uses Monarch’s display file import engine. The browser-based display files that Wings produces are exactly same display files that Monarch produces. Wings is a great first-step into a staged IBM i RPG application migration with ASNA Monarch.
