Press Releases - System i Modernization solution |
|
|
|
Fast-Track to Modernization for System i/iSeries Applications through System i Modernization
solution developed by US Technology and Relativity Technologies.
|
|
|
|
California, Oct 3, 2006 - US Technology Resources Inc. (USTRI), a leading provider
of IT Services & Business Process Outsourcing solutions to Fortune 500 clients,
and Relativity Technologies, Inc., the leading provider of Enterprise Application
Modernization solutions, today announced the release of the jointly developed System
i Modernization solution.
|
|
|
|
The System i platform, formerly known as AS/400 and iSeries, is recognized for its
stability and power. Yet as applications built on the platform age, they tend to
become more complex and less adaptable to emerging business needs. US Technology's
proven methodologies and expertise combined with Relativity Technologies' automated
understanding and modernization of RPG and System i Cobol applications addresses
these challenges -- increasing the efficiency and flexibility of clients' System
i-based applications.
|
|
|
|
The System i Modernization solution begins with an assessment of the existing application
portfolio that results in a detailed modernization roadmap complete with priorities
and options. Building on this roadmap, the second phase generates detailed plans
for the selected modernization option, for instance code revitalization or application
re-engineering. The third phase then implements the selected modernization option,
yielding more flexible and efficient System i applications.
|
|
|
|
Unlike riskier and less automated approaches, the combined solution provides clients
with:
|
|
|
Proven Processes: US Technology's 3-step modernization process has helped leading
organizations generate more value from their legacy applications. Developed and
refined at numerous client engagements, the process structures the execution of
the System i Modernization solution. Specific deliverables and well-understood milestones
ensure that the System i Modernization solution maximizes the value of clients'
application portfolio. |
|
Software Automation: The Relativity Technologies' Modernization Workbench(R)
accelerates each stage of the System i Modernization process. In fact, the Modernization
Workbench allows users to understand their applications in up to 95% less time than
manual approaches. Further, the Modernization Workbench software platform speeds
the modernization of System i applications by ensuring the continuity of core business
logic buried within the targeted code, and refactoring and componentizing the application
to improve its efficiency. |

|
|
"Our passion is applying our people, processes and technology to enable clients
to achieve their business goals," explained Sajan Pillai, Chief Operating Officer
at US Technology, "This commitment has been applied at our 'System i Modernization
Center of Excellence', where our professionals have built experience and standardized
processes around the market leading Modernization Workbench technology. These software-enabled
capabilities allow us to offer clients a structured and simplified path to modernized
System i applications."

"US Technology is not only an acknowledged leader in System i modernization, it
is also a leader in applying its record of success, proven methodologies, and skilled
professionals to bring value to clients," said Steve Maysonave, Chairman, President,
and CEO of Relativity Technologies. "We are pleased to integrate our System i specific
technology into the System i Modernization solution to help clients gain the fast-track
to greater productivity, business agility, and value for their System i-based applications."
