Success Stories

With the only one 100% automated AI-powered conversion and testing technology for modernization, we deliver a genuine open system with exceptional quality and low cost.
Several clients presented case studies at large IT events.

Challenges of Holding on to IBM i (AS/400) and RPG

AS400/RPG will eventually be replaced by modern technologies. Clinging to an outdated legacy is frustrating and inefficient.
Let’s migrate and enjoy the benefits of new technology sooner.

Common Problems in Migrating from RPG to Java

Most migration companies use straight conversion

Maintainability issues 　　The legacy language is simply replaced with custom functions, inheriting the elements of the legacy system as-is.
　　As a result, managing the system requires a deep understanding of both legacy and open technologies.
　　Since it is not standard Java, generative AI tools cannot create or modify source code correctly.
Performance issues 　　With straight conversion, the existing processing method remains unchanged, leading to frequent performance issues.
Operational quality issues 　　Comparison testing is conducted with customer-provided test data only, effectively leaving quality assurance to the
　　customer.

Features of AppModernizer’s Automatic Conversion

Deliver reliable system migrations with exceptional quality and cost efficiency.

Automated Testing Tools Covering All Migration Technical Points

While most migration companies rely on customer-provided test data for quality assurance, we use the only one Al-powvered migration technology to test all the migration technical points to enssure quality with shorter testing time.

Comparison Test through Reproducing Actual Processing

With our testing, you can have peace of mind without having to worry about complex system tests yourself.

Examples of Migrated Source Code

UI Migration

Features of migrated GUI
・Improved operability with mouse and buttons.
・Customizable according to customer UI standards.
・Response speed similar to that of web systems.

AS400 Migration Performance Issues

In RPG, database data can be accessed directly.
In Java, access is through a database interface, which can lead to performance issues if the volume of database queries is high.
Straight conversion struggles to solve this problem. It is recommended to use AI to understand the functionality and generate correct Java code.

Production Data Migration

If there are errors in data migration, business operation issues may arise.

Key implementation items

Over- or under-inclusion
All the data and operation patterns are rigorously checked by SoftRoad’s proprietary tool.
Data migration accuracy
We use the data migration tool to transform data across all test cases and validate the results through comparison. Especially with the comprehensive testing, which spans a vast volume of data, we ensure the accuracy of structural changes, format conversions, etc.

Key tasks in data migration

Data migration was carried out in most of 850+ system migrations we have completed. All cases are successful.

Implement Specification Changes During Migration

Prolonged system freezes during migration can be avoided using our catch-up solution.
AppModernizer can achieve almost 100% automated conversion. If customer provides the latest source code after each update, we can incorporate the changes by quickly converting them into target language.
