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."
