| Further, the Modernization Workbench software platform speeds the modernization of System i applications by ensuring the continuity of core business logic buried within the targeted code, and refactoring and componentizing the application to improve its efficiency. The SOA would allow the service producers to cheaply store and replicate past work by componentizing them, so they can be reused without additional effort, producers save the cost of repeating that work. today announced Netron HotRod(TM) Enterprise Edition, an end-to-end solution for mining and componentizing business rules from legacy applications and facilitating the transition to e-business. |
