Forte/UDS Migration
Since Sun Microsystems announced that all support for Forte/UDS applications would be discontinued by April 2009, companies have sought an efficient, proven approach to transform Forte legacy applications to actively supported platforms like Java or .Net.
As Gartner described the situation, “Risk-averse customers should immediately implement a transition strategy that includes a phased retirement plan for some Forte/UDS applications, coupled with redesign/rewrite and (semi)automated conversion of others.”
SoftSol has developed a proprietary conversion tool to maximize the speed and accuracy of the Forte modernization process. This tool automatically converts up to 99% of the Forte code to either a Java/J2EE or .NET environment. This technology, combined with our expert modernization team, has positioned SoftSol as the leader in Forte migration projects.
SoftSol’s systematic approach has succeeded in both the public and private sectors. Some of the diverse customers we’ve served include ArcelorMittal, Department of Defense, CalPERS, HBO, Superior Court of California, and Telekurs Financial. Projects have ranged in size from approximately 800,000 to over 10 million lines of code.
