[Webinar] “Application Analysis: is your IBM i application ready for the future?”

If you run your business on IBM i, you may well be deciding: migrate or modernize?

The decision to modernize your existing applications, rewrite all or part of the code, or replace with a software package is a risky one, and will impact the future of both your department and your business.

Making the right choice depends on a detailed analysis of your existing application to understand its structure, data model, and the business rules that constitute your competitive advantage in the marketplace.  But documentation is usually missing or out-of-date and no single developer is familiar with all areas of the code and database.

In our Webinar, you will learn how to automatically extract application knowledge and documentation from your existing applications, to assess their value and make informed decisions about the future of your information system.
