Rewrite your Synon in Java? It could be… a mistake!

Converting from Synon CA 2E to a modern language? There are many good reasons to take this step. Beyond the critical shortage of Synon skills, applications developed in this 4GL environment can no longer take advantage of key technology advances in the IBM i operating system. And though a leader in its day, the Synon CASE tool is incompatible with modern DevOps practices and concurrent development.

Do you think the best way to move away from Synon CA 2E is by rewriting everything in Java?
Think again. A full rewrite is risky, expensive, and slow — often leading to years of redevelopment and countless functional regressions.

Join Philippe Magne, CEO of ARCAD Software and Ray Bernardi, senior solution architect to learn why a conversion to Free Form RPG is a risk-free and high-performance option that leverages the architecture of the original Synon application – retaining all the reliability and security advantages of the host platform.

In our Webinar, we will share a secure, automated migration path for business applications developed in Synon CA 2E:

• 100% automated conversion to modern Free Form RPG and DDL (SQL)
• Guaranteed conversion accuracy with test automation process
• Possible modernization of the user interface during the project
• Risk free, fixed price Modernization as a Service (MaaS)
• Modern full DevOps framework for delivery

Leverage the competitive advantage within your Synon application. Register today!
