Natural Adabas to JAVA/.NET Reengineering
Natural Adabas reengineering to Java/.NET application system while adding 30% new business functionality, enhanced system along with documentation, code and automated scripts
Natural Adabas Migration to JAVA/ .NET
Visionet helps clients' to move from legacy, Natural programming language and Adabas database to either the Microsoft .NET development framework or J2EE while adding new business functionality. Visionet delivers an enhanced system along with documentation, software code and automated testing scripts back to the customer.
The Challenges of Migration - A green screen system to a 3-Tier application
Natural Adabas have old age technologies and it is very difficult to optimize the application development and maintenance. Natural Adabas are suffering from the following issues, each of which can severely influence organizational capability.
- Lack of available support resources
- Cost of ownership
- Uncertain lifespan of language and database
- Complexity of IT portfolio
- Mismatch with current industry directions
- Vendor lock-in
- Slower development and longer time to market than competitors
The above listed issues will become increasingly acute over time, eventually making the platform impossible or impractical to run. Rewriting the system yourself is a high-risk, expensive and time-consuming undertaking. Using a generator to convert code shifts vendor lock-in from one company to another. And retaining the existing architecture is unlikely to be suitable for the new environment.
For your existing Adabas / Natural environment and desired outcomes we identify suitable initial applications to migrate and give reasonable cost estimates, timeframe and resource requirements for undertaking the entire migration. We migrate your Adabas database to a relational database platform such as Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle. We migrate your applications using either C# for .NET or Java.
Visionet does not make functional changes to client's existing applications. Visionet rewrites the system according to the desired specifications. Visionet uses XML capability to make it easier to connect, modern relational database and object oriented programming techniques and consistent web browser interface to make the application easier to access and use. We freeze the existing application for a very limited period to reduce the risk of functional drift and finally migrate the entirely automated system.
