Amisys
Selects Transoft as Application Transformation Partner
for New HP-UX Product
May 1, 2002 - AMISYS LLC, which offers information
management solutions for health care payers, has selected
Transoft Inc. as an application transformation provider
for its new HP-UX product, AMISYS Advance.
Following an extensive investigation of transition options,
AMISYS selected Transoft, a leading application transformation
company, because of its established record of providing
efficient tools-based migration solutions, Al Gain, AMISYS
vice president of product development, said.
With 75 current installed customers and 22 timeshare
customers on AMISYS 3000®, AMISYS has one of the largest
customer bases in the healthcare IT industry. Working
with its customers, AMISYS recently announced its strategy
to transition its AMISYS 3000 product to the HP-UX platform.
The transition plan focuses on maintaining the product's
extensive functionality and scalability.
Transoft is a leading expert in application transformation,
with more than 15 years experience in COBOL migration.
Having developed a tools-based approach for platform migrations,
Transoft provides a rapid redeployment of applications
from the HP e3000 to a choice of UNIX or NT environments.
"AMISYS is one of the largest independent software
vendors (ISVs) for the HP e3000, and a key customer in
the healthcare industry for Hewlett-Packard," Gain
said. "We sought a leading partner who could help
us quickly and successfully transition our COBOL programs
and jobs to Micro Focus COBOL in an open systems environment.
It was clear that Transoft, with its 'open technology
road map' and 'can do' approach, would be the perfect
partner to enable us to meet our timeline and satisfy
our customers' needs."
"We were delighted that AMISYS chose Transoft to
help them with this very important transition project,"
commented Paul Holland, Transoft's chief executive officer.
"We have been honing our proven migration tools to
meet the specific needs of this market. That is why today
we are the only company that offers a complete transformation
solution based on the promise of 'don't just move - improve!'"
Transoft is the only company that offers a complete migration
solution. Its unique approach means that applications
can be transitioned from the HP e3000 without risk and
at a fraction of the cost of redeveloping the application.
Transoft goes beyond a migration by giving customers the
option to move their application into new technologies
- either Windows or browser-based user interfaces, or
a Web Services architecture within a Java or Microsoft
.Net environment.
AMISYS plans to have a prototype of Release 1 of AMISYS
Advance available to demonstrate in September. Beta testing
is scheduled for March 2003, with general availability
expected in June 2003.
