Transoft DBPronto

Bridging the gap - maximize the potential of your existing systems by using legacy applications with relational databases (RDBMS), replacing older proprietary ISAM file handlers.

Designed to work with legacy file handlers including COBOL, C-ISAM and Transoft U/FOS, Transoft DBPronto provides a bridge between the existing code and the new relational database such as Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server.

"Transoft's revolutionary new DBPronto product has enabled us to combine our existing Insurance Broker application with our new .NET based Life Insurance system without having to make extensive changes to either."

Data is structured and stored natively in the RDBMS, but the existing programs continue to use familiar data structures and data types. Transoft DBPronto provides the gateway between the two very different worlds. For many legacy file handlers the DBPronto middleware layer intercepts the existing file I/O statements. For others, DBPronto implements a simple API that replaces existing file I/O.

Many business critical systems and commercial software packages are written in legacy code and provide a robust, portable and fully functional environment for software development. However, most of these programs continue to use the native ISAM file handlers provided by the original vendor. These file handlers do not provide the flexibility, accessibility and robustness of a RDBMS. As businesses require better business intelligence functionality, enterprise application integration and high availability of mission critical data, there is an increasing demand to modernize the databases underpinning these legacy applications.
