Modernize to C# .NET

The ATERAS .NET modernization solution provides a .NET replacement for online legacy applications that are written in COBOL, PL/1, Adabas Natural and IDMS ADS/Online. The modernization solution allows the applications to be enhanced and modified during the transition, taking full advantage of web-based processing and the .NET framework in the resulting C# applications.

With the ATERAS modernization solution, the resulting web-based applications are fully object-oriented and stateless. ADO.NET provides access to the target relational databases (either mainframe or off-mainframe databases). All "business rules" (the true business logic) are converted to native C#. All "environment handling" processes related to saving data across the pseudo-converse, counting lines that can fit on the page and testing to see "what PFKEY was pressed" are eliminated. Conversational legacy processing is also eliminated completely.

With the modernization to C# and .NET, the resulting applications use Web Forms and operate as web applications that can be launched from any web browser. The lines of code in the resulting .NET programs are consistently less than the lines of code in the original COBOL programs.
