Why migrate?

Once an organisation - whether a government, corporation or independent software vendor - has adopted a particular programming language and database, those choices are difficult and expensive to reverse. No matter how great the benefits of change, the organisation is effectively locked in to the software chosen years or decades ago. So organisations typically try to make the best of a deteriorating situation, bound to the strategies, whims and fortunes of their vendors.

Until now ...

Over the last decade Quintessence Systems Limited has developed its unique in2j software which automatically migrates Oracle-specific code and applications (in PL/SQL and / or Forms) into the Java™ language. If required, it can simultaneously adapt the code to address IBM's DB2 database. This represents a low cost, low-risk and highly reliable solution for customers wishing to break free of propietary boundaries and restrictions.

Specific benefits arising from migration include:

• slash licence fees for the use of proprietary software;
• move away from unsupported software versions, or neglected products;
• improve your source code control;
• recruit IT staff from a broader pool of software engineers;
• improve productivity, and deliver solutions and new functionality to end users more quickly;
• improve system performance;
• deploy more flexible, adaptable and efficient software architectures.
