.NETigration™

PBSI provides turn-key AS/400-iSeries extension and migration solutions that include the use of its proprietary software tools, methods and processes.

PBSI's extension solutions include: (1) phased installation of replacement software based on existing or new functionality; (2) re-writing application software to take advantage of more contemporary platforming while continuing to utilize or interface with iSeries application software and databases; or, (3) phased migrations of legacy application software where the ultimate result is a complete software migration. The result of PBSI's extension service offerings is the completion of a customer-defined project to take advantage of contemporary hardware and software platforming available while maintaining connectivity to the iSeries legacy software and databases.

PBSI's migration solutions provide support for a total technology transformation of existing legacy application software to a contemporary hardware and software platform. The results of PBSI's service offering include contemporary software, tested and certified as accurate to pre-migration operational results. PBSI also trains the customer's current technical staff to operate in the new .NET environment ensuring that the customer's investment in business/system knowledge is preserved going forward.

PBSI's full service approach represents a highly predictable, low-risk extension or migration solution that efficiently transforms both software and staff to a self-sufficient, robust and technically sophisticated new environment.

Once the legacy environment is successfully ported to .NET, all the advantages of Windows, Web applications, and the latest technology become available to the IT organization. AS/400 applications now are also more accessible to C# and VB developers for ongoing enhancement and extension. Once the applications are in .NET, they seamlessly integrate with Word, Excel, and the Internet. Additionally, the organization is now able to select its future hardware purchases from a wide variety of commodity products, achieving substantial reductions in both purchase and maintenance costs.

"The legacy application, once migrated to .NET is totally native .NET code, maintained with generic Microsoft tools and requires no proprietary utilities or compilers to run."
-- Natalie Kilner,
President and CEO, PBSI
