X-Analysis Advisor

Manage, Enhance and Evolve Your IBM i Applications with Confidence

Do you have everything you need to develop your RPG and COBOL applications?

For years IBM i (AS/400) applications have been handling millions of transactions per day. But they’re not as agile as modern systems, and they don’t always integrate easily with newer technologies. In addition, finding resources to maintain and enhance RPG and CL code is a real challenge. Companies now face real pressure to modernize business applications to take advantage of Web, Mobile, SOA and Open Source technologies. X-Modernize automatically transforms RPG applications into modern, native Java or PHP applications.
