  • Aldon Opens Office in the Middle East

    July 23, 2007 Alex Woodie

    A week after announcing its expansion into the Nordic countries through a new partnership, application lifecycle management software vendor Aldon revealed that it has opened a new office in the Middle East to serve the fast-growing IT market in the region.

    Aldon, which was acquired by Marlin Equity Partners about two months ago, says the Middle East represents “an important and strategic region” for the company, particularly in the banking industry, its strongest segment.

    Heading up the company’s Middle East efforts is Samir Bekdashi, a technology veteran from the Middle East who has taken the position of regional account manager with Aldon, and who will be responsible for driving business development in the Middle East, North Africa, Greece, and Turkey.

    Bekdashi has 26 years of industry experience, and was most recently the executive director at offshore software specialist BERIT Group, Aldon says. He also held the posts of sales manager at QuanTech and business manager at French IT supplier Bull‘s Middle East office, where he worked for 21 years, Aldon says.

    Application lifecycle management and change management are major growth areas in the Middle East market, “and Aldon is already a well known name in the region,” Bekdashi said.

    When it comes to consuming web APIs on your IBM i, your options often boil down to one of two things:

    First, you end up having to rely on a variety of open source and non-RPG solutions. This adds developer complexity, taking away time that could have been better spent invested in other projects. Of course, open source software is free, but generally comes at the cost of no professional support, which adds an element of risk in your production environment. RXS is completely professionally supported, and is complemented by a staff of trained IBM i developers who can address your nuanced development challenges, head on.

    Second, if you choose not to pursue an open-source solution, you’re often left having to shake up your current program architecture with proprietary software, external dependencies, and partial RPG implementations – many of which are sub-par compared to RPG-XML Suite’s wide range of features. RXS aims to simplify the efforts of developers with tools like code generators, useful commands, and subprocedures written in 100% RPG – no Java. Because they are entirely RPG, the RXS subprocedures are easy to add to new or existing ILE programs and architecture, helping to cut your development time. RPG-XML Suite offers powerful capabilities in an accessible, easy-to-implement format.

    With RPG-XML Suite, you can accomplish a variety of complex tasks, such as:

    • Calling REST and SOAP web services from your IBM i
    • Offering APIs from your IBM i
    • Creating JSON & XML
    • Parsing JSON & XML
    • Text manipulation, Base64 encoding/decoding, CCSID handling, hashing and encryption functions, and more.

    To try RXS for yourself, we recommend a free proof of concept, which not only gives you access to all of RPG-XML Suite’s subprocedures and utilities but also includes a tailor-made software demonstration that can be used as a starting point for your future API implementations.

    For a free proof of concept, contact us at sales@krengeltech.com, or visit our website for more information.
