Modernize: Transform, Integrate and Web Enable

As IBM continues to transition its focus to Java, Linux and WebSphere®, companies are revisiting their investments in RPG and COBOL on the System i (also known as the iSeries or AS400). Companies with large investments in legacy RPG code face increased maintenance costs and difficult choices about their long term future. eCube Systems is an Advanced IBM partner that provides modernization, integration, replatforming and web-facing solutions to iSeries users.

Clients can choose to extend the ROI of their RPG applications by transforming the business logic to Java or they can modernize their iSeries with the XML/SOA based middleware . eCube's variety of i Series options allow users select the solution that best meets their needs.

Transforming valuable assets

eCube's legacy transformation service for iSeries is a complete solution that combines human interaction with automated tools to convert iSeries/AS400 based RPG and COBOL to Java. This iSeries Migration service includes all of the key provisions needed to make a transition from RPG to Java. This can range from an initial assessment and proof of concept, through complete testing and hands on or formal training.  Specialized training, education and iSeries Migration mentoring is available before and after the transformation to help RPG development teams migrate their skills to Java.  Moreover, eCube can assist companies in implementing Web interfaces and integrating new Java-based applications with third-party party business solutions.

Making a transition from RPG to Java requires a rich set of solutions that must address both the application and the environment the application is used in. Unlike other tool-only solutions, eCube works with its customers through all of these requirements, guaranteeing the success of the project.
