RPG to Java migration from Strumenta.
You probably adopted RPG software at least 20 years ago. You’re not alone. Many companies built their entire operation on RPG systems. Particularly finance companies, and the manufacturing sector, covering everything from warehouse management and order processing to accounting, customer service, and production control.
And now whilst RPG is still running your business well, it doesn’t give you the flexibility that you need to adapt your business. Talk to us if you need help with your RPG to Java. We’ve done it many times and know all the pitfalls and areas to keep a close eye on.
RPG to Java modernization gives your business enormous benefits
Easier to maintain
Post RPG to Java migration, your systems are much easier to maintain. The code has been cleaned, performance is better, security is enhanced, and scalability has improved. It becomes easier to connect with other modern systems. This further reduces maintenance costs and complexity
Makes future changes simpler
Modernizing your software makes future business changes simpler. Integration with other systems becomes achievable, introducing new features and updating old ones are now possible. And you can also get the most from cloud-based infrastructure if that’s what your business needs.
Improved security
Legacy IT systems are often at the heart of cyber security incidents. Outdated systems regularly lack modern security protocols and are vulnerable to breaches. Frequently, IT teams can’t patch legacy systems because they are no longer being maintained by the vendor. RPG to Java modernization makes your systems more secure.
Easier to find skills
You can hire more easily as there are far more Java software engineers than RGP. The average RPG/COBOL developer is over 55 years old, and thinking about retiring if they haven’t already. Specialist skills command 35–45% premiums. By upgrading, you’re not held to ransom by the declining numbers of skilled engineers.
