Migration and Reengineering of Applications to EGL
The Problem
Transferring existing apps to EGL can lead to a range of advantages:
Productivity improvement Platform independence Improvement in agility through modularization Transition to model-based development Creation of service-oriented architecture (SOA) Consolidation of different languages Development of a modern software development process Web integration Development of junior staff for maintenance of portfolio applications Motivation of development team
Transferring large-scale portfolio applications to a new language/technology is not, however, a trivial matter. A new development is usually not economically justifiable and cannot be realized with existing resources within a reasonable amount of time.
The Solution
As transition experts, PKS has developed a range of tools with which portfolio applications can be transformed to EGL in a highly automated fashion using rule-based software tools. In addition, PKS provides tools that can help easily integrate portfolio apps with EGL.
