Primary business to date has been in the delivery of Application Lifecycle Management solutions.\u00a0 \u201cAfter years of growth, both with direct sales and through our important business partners, now is the time to have an organization in place for an active local presence\u201d, states Philippe Magne, ARCAD Software CEO.\u00a0 \u201cWe are lucky to have appointed Torbj\u00f6rn Appehl, our first IBM Champion, to head the new operation\u201d.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Nordic countries Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland make up a dynamic region with many large and midsize IBM i-based companies and a vibrant user community.\u00a0 Many IBM i shops are struggling with challenges such as a lack of RPG programmers, dependence on key staff with application knowledge reaching retirement age, and core applications with old-fashioned user interfaces. \u00a0These are all issues that are easily solved with the ARCAD Software solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see a lot of companies cancelling long running projects for replacing their IBM i (or even AS\/400) applications with some standard package. Often the original application is reliable and working well, and the decision to replace is made without a full view of the risk and cost involved. The good news is that by using our modernization tools we can make a homegrown IBM i application ready for the future within a few months at a much lower budget than replacing a system\u201d, says Torbj\u00f6rn Appehl, CEO for ARCAD Software Nordic.<\/p>\n<p>The Nordic region is also seeing high adoption of DevOps and agile methods across software development and delivery.\u00a0 \u201cModernization is also about people and it is important to encourage a DevOps mindset and culture in IT.\u00a0 DevOps tools for automating continuous deployment and continuous test help companies deliver value faster to their customers or end-users.\u00a0 They have become a requirement to keep pace with business and stay competitive\u201d, says Appehl.\u00a0 \u201cWe are very excited to bring ARCAD\u2019s DevOps and test automation technology to the Nordic IT market\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>ARCAD\u2019s integrated DevOps and test automation solutions are compatible with a variety of platforms, including IBM i, System z, Windows, Linux, AIX and multiple databases, such as DB2, ORACLE, and SQL server.\u00a0 They are distributed via two wholly-owned subsidiaries, DROPS Software and DOT Software.<\/p>\n<p>About ARCAD Software<\/p>\n<p>ARCAD Software provides a range of tools that enable IBM i users and programmers to automate the modernization of their existing IBM i applications and benefit from the latest advances in the platform (e.g. SQL database, 3-tier architecture, Web services, mobile access, etc.).\u00a0 In addition to advanced Change Management solutions, the ARCAD offering covers application analysis and documentation tools, Release management and DevOps, Test Automation, and Transformer tools for converting from traditional RPGLE to Free Form RPG, and DDS to DDL (SQL).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stockholm, 10 March 2016\u00a0\u2013 ARCAD Software, leading vendor in Enterprise Modernization and DevOps solutions for IBM i, today announced the  &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-arcad-press-articles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
