Convertigo Legacy Integrator exposes existing legacy applications as SOAP or REST Web services.

Convertigo Legacy Integrator Our solution to an imperfect world In the perfect world, all IT systems would be architectured as Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) to provide flexibility, compatibility, and manageability. But in the real world, legacy applications and systems built before SOA was available are still mission critical to many enterprises. These applications running on AS/400s (iSeries, I5), on mainframes (IBM z/OS, BULL GCOS), or UNIX character-based systems are missing a key feature that SOA architectures need: Web Services-based APIs

Save time and money with the Legacy integrator

Recreating these applications from the ground up is expensive – in time, dollars, and opportunities lost. Convertigo's Legacy Integrator (CLI) works by reading and interpreting “green screens” attached to the application, turning standard legacy applications into Web Services. The resulting Web Services are non intrusive to the target application, regardless of the development language or database technology. That way your investment in legacy applications and processes can be integrated as Web Services into Mashups, inexpensively and time efficiently continuing to provide the mission critical information you need in the new environment you are creating.

Help your team transition easily

If your organization has been using legacy applications originally developed for IBM AS400 and mainframes, BULL, and others for some time, you understand just how valuable those applications are. Much of your staff knows how to navigate the screens and they are very productive. However, as you hire new staff they are much more comfortable on the web, in a browser. Legacy Publishing provides the ideal transition strategy. Instead of redesigning a completely new User Interface screen by screen, Convertigo Legacy Publisher (CLP) relies on a rule concept applied to a family of screens. CLP captures existing process information contained in these screens and makes your existing and new staff productive and comfortable with their tools, which significantly lowers your costs.

Convertigo Legacy Publisher lets you: Mashup existing legacy applications by making widgets of green screens to be able to connect them to other widgets in a mashup Automate complex user tasks by consolidating multiple screens and cutting and pasting Modernize any existing green screen application to state of the art AJAX- based web GUI

Update inexpensively

With Convertigo Legacy Publisher, the user interface for your valuable legacy applications can be modernized and become part of the mashup without redesigning and without intrusive technology. So your users are productive sooner and at a lower development and training cost.
