A Complete Legacy Application Modernization Solution |
| |
 |
| |
| |
| Application Modernization Rather Than Application Migration |
| |
| The Metex application modernization solution is based on a process that delivers higher quality code and more architecture
flexibility than standard application migration. The Metex solution provides a new code structure in
pure native-style Java or .NET that retains no characteristics of the original 4GL source language
structure. The transformed application is able to leverage powerful Java or .NET features that are not
available in the original legacy environment. |
| |
| Modernization that Supports Client-Specific Architecture Standards |
| |
| The first step in a Metex application modernization project is to work with the client to design and confirm
its architecture requirements in the new target
language. Metex offers the industry’s most flexible choice of architecture options for both Java and
.NET including multiple choices for client interfaces, database connection methods, external DLL handling,
report solutions, and many others. |
| |
| Modernization Processes are Refined and Improved through Experience |
| |
| The Metex professional services team has honed its modernization skills on numerous modernization projects of
varying size and complexity over the previous ten years. The Metex Modernization Solution follows
a systematic process that ensures a predictable,
high-quality result that has been validated on tens of millions of lines of transformed code. |
| |
| Automated Modernization without Compromising Code Quality |
| |
| To maximize project quality and deliver an efficient modernization solution, Metex utilizes a suite of
advanced technology tools as an integral part of the application modernization process. The Metex
Modernization suite includes over 30 automated tools that convert 4GL code to Java or .NET platforms.
Metex has several tools for each application layer (data access, business logic and user interface)
and tool selection is based on the client’s desired architecture and coding standards. The Metex
solution maximizes project efficiency and code quality by using automated tools to perform the initial
modernization stages and professional services to complete the modernization process. |
| |
| High Quality Native Style Java or .NET Code |
| |
| The Metex application modernization process uses a suite of sophisticated automated tools that produce
high quality, native-style Java or .NET code that can be easily maintained with industry standard IDE
tools. Unlike the output of other simple migration tools, Metex code includes no proprietary libraries,
non-standard code or external dependencies. The transformed code has a standard Java or .NET format that
replaces problematic 4GL functions with the improved functionality available in Java and .NET. The Metex
modernization process goes beyond simple migration of a 2-tier client server application to a 3-tier Java or
.NET architecture by offering a wide range of options for improving the user interface, code structure and
other aspects of the application. |
