Migrating
AS/400 - iSeries
|
|
|
Overview
Migrate AS/400 applications quickly and
cost effectively to Windows, UNIX or
Linux, modernize and integrate using
INFINITEiSeries software and services
from INFINITE Corporation. Products from
INFINITE Corporation are the leading legacy
migration and modernization tools for
the IBM Midrange and Mainframe markets.
INFINITE Corporation enjoys significant industry experience and many client engagements worldwide.
INFINITE products are used to achieve
platform neutrality for IBM Legacy
applications, a truly web-based
interface and SOA integration.
Midrange applications direct core
business enterprises worldwide and
represent a tremendous amount of
intellectual capital and resource
allocation. While these applications and
the platform they run on proved adequate
in the past, the introduction of the
Internet, newer database products and
the drive to use SOA standards now
demand a more functional,
open-environment.
Virtually all large end users and
software vendors have contemplated
possible future directions for their
current AS/400 RPG or COBOL
applications. The choices include
replacement or rewriting. Both incur
time, expense and risk – three things
that most companies don’t have in
abundance. Yet the benefits of offering
platform flexibility, web access, modern
appearance and functionality and the
ability to quickly respond to customers,
vendors and partners are obvious.
What is it?
INFINITEiSeries is a complete solution
that makes operation in today’s IT
environment truly possible. The
rehosting suite includes compilers,
utilities and a deployment environment
allowing RPG and COBOL applications to
be migrated at the source code level and
recompiled into native executables for
Windows, UNIX and Linux. The INFINITEweb
tools included provide a development
environment to customize screen design,
web deploy and integrate the legacy
application. The INFINITEbi suite makes
sophisticated business intelligence
tools available within the application.
INFINITE Corporation presents migration,
implementation and support services to
manage the complete project from start
to finish. Once those systems and
applications have been successfully
implemented, INFINITE Corporation provides
a deployment environment along with
training and assistance in utilizing and
maintaining the new tools as IT needs
evolve.

A better alternative than
rewriting.
INFINITEiSeries is the solution of
choice for system developers who want to
protect their investment in AS/400
applications and resources. The benefits
are immediate-financially, operationally
and strategically. Migrating with
INFINITEiSeries is an attractive
alternative to the cost of major time
delays associated with rewriting legacy
applications.
INFINITEiSeries is the easiest to use,
fastest to deploy and most cost
effective method of migrating and
modernizing AS/400 applications to UNIX,
Linux or Windows. INFINITEiSeries
provides the ability to reduce the
number of platforms to be supported
while protecting the investment in the
legacy code as well as the current
support and development staff.
INFINITEiSeries generates truly native
multi-platform solutions and will enable
software developers to migrate their RPG
and COBOL applications in far less time
than redeveloping. In addition, it is
possible to continue development on the
AS/400 and/or migrated platform.
Existing support infrastructure and
documentation can be used for both
platforms.
The migration risk is far less because
the existing resource remains unaltered,
current skills can maintain and support
the application, the application code
runs in a replicated environment-this
change will cause a minimum level of
disruption in the day-to-day operation
of the business.
The INFINITE approach differs from other
migration products. The source code is
not changed; it is recompiled to run
native on the new platform. The INFINITE
toolset mitigates risk because the
existing source remains unaltered, data
is written directly to the new database
and current skills can be used to
maintain and support the new
applications. The application code runs
in a replicated environment thereby
making day-to-day operational
disruptions minimal.
