Ever
changing business scenarios are forcing companies to look
towards adaptable technologies which are cost effective,
fast to develop, change and deploy (RAD) and also with a
promise of long-term support from parent companies. The
strategic direction being adhered to by some of the leading
companies in the world with an eye on a quick ROI on their
technology investments are taking a serious look at the
.NET suite of Microsoft products. Kumaran is in a superior
position to help such corporations realize their targeted
ROI. Our .NET migration suite of services ensures a quick
transition from your Legacy system to a new rejuvenated
.Net compliant system with a networked global reach.
We
recommend .NET framework as a preferred solution for our
clients as the ROI in migrating your legacy applications
to a .NET framework based application is much faster than
any other technologies prevalent in the market.
Microsoft.NET
is a revolutionary new platform, built on open Internet
protocols and standards, with tools and services that meld
computing and communications in new ways. With NET, Microsoft
presents a new platform of which the goal is to develop
Web applications simply inter operable, resting on a completely
new architecture. For Microsoft, .NET will make it possible
to program the Web, neither more, nor less. Microsoft .NET
is Microsoft’s XML Web services platform..NET contains
all that’s needed to build and run software based
on XML, the lingua franca of Internet data exchange. Microsoft
.NET solves several core problems underlying software development
today.
Some
of the fallacies of legacy systems that corporations are
looking towards arresting:
-
Limited scalability and system administration problems
- Inaccurate, incorrect or non-existent
support artifacts, such as Requirements, or Design
documents
- Enormous maintenance costs –
incurred primarily to rectify bugs that are either inherited
or introduced during production support and/or modifying
the software to keep it current with business needs
- Inflexibility to changing business,
market, and end-user needs
- Lack of user-friendliness
Adopting .NET as the solution of choice, organizations can
-
Tightly
coupled client server environment to a loosely coupled
distributed web environment.
-
Platform independence and scalability, allowing applications
to run without modification on all kinds of devices big
and small
- Intelligent graphical user interfaces,
consistent across all platforms
- Reduced time and cost of software
development, and software reuse via COM+ the Microsoft plug-and-play
component architecture
-
Centralized software and network management, cutting desktop
administration to zero or near-zero
-
Secure network delivery
-
New efficiencies through the linking of suppliers, customers,
and trading partners in integrated supply chains
All the above-mentioned benefits add in a major way to the
bottom line through a greater degree of cost benefit ratio.
Kumaran
Approach
Kumaran
tools are capable of automatically converting your existing
applications (Visual Basic, Power Builder and Oracle Forms)
to .NET Applications. These tools enable migration to the
.Net platform without forgoing any of the advantages provided
by your existing application.
Kumaran
system’s, anywhere to .NET migration workbench automates
the process of migration in a componentized fashion by addressing
various layers of the source application individually. In
other words, singular tools help automate the migration of
various code components of the source application into the
target code. The migrated code is then integrated manually,
tested, customized and optimized by augmented manual services.
-
Workbench is a collection of tools, each focused on specific
source & targets of migrating to .NET
-
Workbench based Automatic migration, as opposed to rewriting,
reduces development time because it involves moving to
a new system based on business logic, requirements, and
functionality that is already well defined.
-
Functional testing efforts are reduced to a great extent
as the code is generated automatically based on the original
source code.
-
Automatic migration makes for a relatively low risk development
project because of the reduction in time.

Solution
Features
The
following are a few advantages of our .Net converter based
migration:
-
Maintenance of Software Investment - By migrating the
existing application (instead of rewriting), the organization
maintains its software assets and operation procedures.
-
Support for Industry Standards - Moving to the latest
industry standards is vital in today’s competitive
markets. The converted applications are fully Web Enabled
as per the prevailing industry standards, functionally
take advantage of new features and support the Web-Deployment
of the forms.
-
Efficiency and User-friendliness - The total user interface
is re-engineered to suite the target framework making
the system very efficient and user friendly.
-
Compliance - The Migrated application code is made compliant
to the application framework defined in the target.
-
Cost - The cost of a Migration is much less when compared
to redevelopment.
With the increasing costs associated with maintaining enterprise-wide
applications it has become imperative for organizations to
factor-in the code maintainability issues during either migration
or post-migration. Kumaran’s .NET workbench approach
to migrating anywhere platform is one such approach powered
by our in-house tools, which helps migrate your applications
to a .NET compliant system.
