Transoft Announces Full Migration Support for HP 3000 Server Users

Leading EAI Firm Recommends a "New Application Transformation Approach" to Stop Dependence on Discontinued Servers

November 15, 2001 - Transoft, a leading international provider of application transformation, integration and assembly products and services, announced its full migration support to users of HP 3000 servers, slated to be discontinued within the next 24 months.

To replace these systems, Transoft offers its Application Transformation solution, which enables HP 3000 users to transform their old "green-screen" proprietary COBOL applications into modern, open system multi-tier ones. These modern applications combine Web or Windows GUI front-ends and can be connected to a choice of ANSI-standard COBOL back-ends running on UNIX or NT servers using leading relational databases. The transformed applications are also highly scalable because they use Transoft's proven intelligent Component Broker middleware.

"It is now time to consider strategies to move away from the HP 3000 MPE environment," said Paul Holland, Transoft's chief executive officer. "Our 'Application Transformation' approach combines valuable existing business logic and data with new technology to keep companies running.

"Several vendors already provide GUI or Web modernization on the HP 3000 platform and others provide conventional migration solutions, but we believe the Transoft HP 3000 offering is the first complete transformation solution that unites selective migration and re-use of existing code and data with modernization," continued Holland. "This not only enables the HP 3000 user to convert his COBOL application into one that is modern in appearance, highly scalable, multi-tiered and component based, but also provides the user with a choice of leading, standards-based platforms, RDBMSs and front-end development tools."
