LINC to VisualAge Pacbase using Lateral Engineering

e-ASG offers proven Migration Solutions to those organizations that value their investment in their strategic Information Systems and are re-considering their previous commitment to LINC®, UNISYS' 4GL. Because there is usually a high cost associated to re-writing existing LINC® applications, we have devised an approach and tools that automate the migration of LINC® applications to VisualAge Pacbase.

Termed "Lateral Engineering", these capabilities allow for a painless migration at a fraction of the cost and time required for a classical COBOL-based conversion . Once automatically Lateral Engineered to VisualAge Pacbase, the resulting applications can take full advantage of all the features of native VisualAge Pacbase applications:

VisualAge Pacbase has the best repository in the industry and increases drastically maintenance productivity. The repository fully supports versioning, change management, real time impact analysis and full cross-references on all the constructs.

Automatic web enablement through the conversion

Portability over 40 target platforms including all UNISYS platforms, all IBMs, HP, SUN, DEC, TANDEM, BULL, UNIX, Windows NT, etc....
Portability across most popular relational databases including the DB2 family,Oracle, Sybase, Informix, etc....
Flexibility of architecture and re-deployment on Intranet using a web browser
Choice of transaction processing monitors and middleware such as CICS, TUXEDO, MQ- Series, TCP/IP, Sockets, etc....

LINC® to Pacbase Lateral Engineering automatically converts LINC® applications preserving software investments and also provides for data conversion to most popular relational databases. Furthermore, similarities between LINC® and Pacbase enable

24% of the programs are back in production on the new platform in 4 effort hours or less
32% of the programs are back in production on the new platform in between 4 and 8 effort hours
16 % of the programs are back in production on the new platform in between 8 and 12 effort hours...
Etc....

The "effort" includes ALL the tasks performed on the project reported by number of programs: Project management and planning/reporting, conversion tool customization, database conversion and application testing.

e-ASG provides a statistical analysis program that performs a detailed analysis of the LINC® constructs of your application to be Lateral Engineered to Pacbase . This analysis program is provided at no charge.

Please e-mail MktSup@e-ASG.com to request the statistical program and additional information on LINC® to VisualAge Pacbase Lateral Engineering.
