Rewrite your Synon in Java? It could be… a mistake!<\/h1><\/div>

Converting from Synon CA 2E to a modern language?<\/strong> There are many good reasons to take this step. Beyond the critical shortage<\/strong> 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<\/strong> and concurrent development.<\/p>\n

Do you think the best way to move away from Synon CA 2E is by rewriting everything in Java<\/strong>?
\nThink again. A full rewrite is risky, expensive, and slow \u2014 often leading to years of redevelopment and countless functional regressions.<\/p>\n

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<\/strong> that leverages the architecture of the original Synon application – retaining all the reliability and security advantages of the host platform.<\/p>\n

In our Webinar, we will share a secure, automated migration path for business applications developed in Synon CA 2E:<\/p>\n

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

    Leverage the competitive advantage within your Synon application.<\/p>\n
