Benefits of AS/400 Modernization Strategies

Users of the IBM AS/400 platform are faced with an increasing number of challenges that drive up the total cost of ownership (TCO) for applications being hosted on these servers. Many AS/400 applications, however, provide mission-critical functionality to an organization that cannot be easily replaced. They have been custom-built over many years with significant development investment to meet specific business needs.

Factors such as rapidly reducing availability of skilled technical resources, limited access to platform-compatible software products and complexity in integrating AS/400 applications with other systems in the corporate IT landscape make existing AS/400 applications slow to respond to changing business needs. As Open IT standards have developed, continuing to maintain and enhance these applications in a responsive, cost effective, integrated and compliant manner is increasingly difficult and expensive. Screen scrapers and other proprietary development and modernization tools have helped, but they do not address the core issues.

Speedware provides AS/400 users with a wide range of modernization and transformation solutions that delivers new strategies for extending the life of your mission-critical AS/400 RPG and COBOL applications.

Speedware takes modernization to the next level, providing you with a comprehensive set of modernization strategies allowing you to transform your AS/400 applications into a native, modern development environment gradually or, if you prefer, in one step, and permitting you to deploy your existing applications on Microsoft Windows, UNIX and Linux.

Speedware's AS/400 application modernization solutions deliver:

  • Reduced Total Cost of Application Ownership

  • Higher Programmer Productivity

  • Improved Application Interoperability

  • Increased Business Flexibility
