ATERAS leveraged the efficiencies of its automated tool suite to assess and convert several mission critical Natural Adabas and DB2 applications to new C# SQL Server Windows-based applications. The C# applications now process against SQL Server and the existing DB2 database.

ATERAS transformed the applications in 5 months (from start to production deployment) using its automated tool suite and proven delivery methodology for the project. The solution included an automated assessment and automated conversion of the Database, Data and Application code. The applications and databases were converted with 100% functional equivalency. The end result is a quality solution with an n-tier architecture that is easy to maintain and has high performance in the new Microsoft.NET environment.
