Modernization Essentials: Recycling Your RPG Code

Incorporating and transitioning legacy code is essential to a successful application modernization strategy. Your existing RPG (or COBOL) code contains highly valuable, executable, specifications of your enterprise's information structures, use cases, business rules, and process steps. Tossing this code in the trash and creating all new applications from scratch is too costly to be feasible. "Refacing" and automated source code conversion are only stop-gap measures.

This FREE, one-hour webcast will introduce you to powerful, practical, "green" reuse and recycling strategies. Learn how you can use refactoring, code mining, design extraction, and other techniques to create new applications that fully exploit your existing code. Recycling code is also an adaptive approach that lets your IT group use incremental and iterative development practices to produce future applications that have a modern architecture as well as updated interfaces.

Don’t miss this special opportunity for a fresh, highly informative look at the challenge of application modernization.
