Tab navigation to Enterprise modernization - System z
Organizations struggle to tap into their traditional IT professionals’ decades of experience and domain knowledge to improve current enterprise applications and to take advantage of new architectures and technologies.
At the same time, these organizations want to make it easier for developers with new skills to learn and reuse existing application assets to create services and to deploy new workloads on existing infrastructures. Making the move to modern development environments greatly improves productivity.
IBM® software offers higher development productivity through a powerful, business-oriented language known as Enterprise Generation Language (EGL). EGL provides a platform-independent model for developing multiplatform Web, Web 2.0, and SOA applications.
Leverage modern development environments
Use common, Eclipse-based tooling across multiple platforms and languages to enhance developer productivity. Common, modern development environments, such as IBM Rational® Developer for i, help reduce training costs and are more attractive to younger developers.
Simplify multiplatform application development
Leverage existing and new staff to build multiplatform applications with EGL. IBM Rational Developer for i for SOA Construction comes bundled with IBM Rational Business Developer. This offering is the premier IDE for building traditional and composite applications for IBM i, including traditional RPG, COBOL, C/C++, EGL, Web, Web 2.0, Web services, HATS, and XML-based applications.
IBM Rational Migration Extension for IBM i delivers a highly automated way to leverage and reuse business-critical RPG applications and transform them into EGL to execute properly as generated Java or COBOL
code.
