DALLAS, TEXAS May 13, 2008 – ATERAS announces the installation of the Enterprise Application Viewer (eav) at a City Government. When critical team members leave an organization or retire, the knowledge about specific applications is lost, making it difficult to maintain and enhance the applications. With the Enterprise Application Viewer, business and technical team members can view, access and understand even the most complex applications and are provided with up-to-date documentation.

The Enterprise Application Viewer allows any IT organization the ability to increase productivity and understanding of existing applications without regard to the knowledge level of the technical team. Problem resolution and enhancement design are greatly simplified when the developer can drill into program code, cross reference fields, view program interfaces, and follow program logic instantly using an interactive diagram. eav provides both business and technical teams insight into application flow, cross-program and intra-program flow, and even field-level usage across the enterprise.

Mandatory compliance changes and enhancements to applications are now planned more easily, reducing the risk and defining the impact across the enterprise. Business and technical analysts have full visibility into complex applications, and can predict the impact of specific changes across the environment. With eav, Business Rules are easily identified, isolated and extracted for use in legacy modernization, SOA enablement, and other re-design and re-engineering projects. Entire teams can become knowledgeable about any set of applications, eliminating the risk associated with a reduced or retiring technical staff.

Enterprise Application Viewer makes achieving Sarbanes-Oxley compliance for documentation on existing applications easy and automatic. eav automatically updates its documentation repository every time that a production program changes. The unique documentation feature allows an organization to fully document a program and its relationship to all other program artifacts. With eav’s graphical workbenches, documentation and application research is completely interactive.

The Enterprise Application Viewer product is an important component of the DB-Shuttle automated solutions strategy for legacy migration and modernization, which includes: comprehensive IT assessments, database and data migrations, application migrations, and enterprise field change. The flexible ATERAS automated product line powered by DB-Shuttle simplifies the IT solutions for all enterprises.

“Enterprise Application Viewer enhances our automated technology solutions for legacy modernization to global enterprises and our partnerships with systems integrators. IT organizations and Systems Integrators who maintain applications use eav to increase developer productivity while solving the business and technical problems of up-to-date documentation and SOX compliancy,” states Scott Miller, CEO President ATERAS.
