Migration of RPG/COBOL-based systems by Caravel means a broad array of benefits for users of those systems:
1. Easy access to e-business
Migration to 100% pure Java is the first step in the systems' Internet
deployment and their transformation to e-business.
Caravel is known to follow the standards set by the J2EE. Migrated systems
may be run on a 3-layer architecture oriented to Internet and e-business.
These may be based on application servers, obtaining an unbeatable response
and unlimited scalability.
2. Standards utilization / Independence
When the RPG/COBOL-based systems are migrated to Java, they conform to
all existing standards and are totally independent of Hardware, Operating
System or Data Base management system.
3. A modern and personalized user interface
Caravel gives the systems a new interface with outstanding ergonomics and
visual richness. In addition, it allows an effective personalization,
adapting itself to specific user needs or preferences.
4. Complete migration with identical functionality
vs. the original
The migration covers the entire system, with no other tools being needed.
Since 100% of the original functionality is maintained, modifications to
the organisation's processes are not required, nor is new user training
needed.
5. Solid technological prospects
Java offers multiple possibilities for development, since programmers and
technical personnel are always widely available. The most exciting activity
of the entire industry takes place around Java, with constant inputs
of technologies and products that offer unlimited opportunities.
