Surround Tech Reminds Visual LANSA Users of Add-On Tools’ Value

August 4, 2009 Alex Woodie

Attention LANSA customers: If you have found Surround Technologies bundle of add-ons for Visual LANSA useful, you may want to take a look at the latest addition to the Accelerator series, including a new Task-Reminder application and another that creates groups of items on LANSA-developed systems.

Surround Tech is a New Jersey software development company that makes add-on tools to be used by LANSA developers. One of its most popular applications is Accelerator for Visual LANSA, a toolkit that the company claims can reduce the time required to develop a Visual LANSA application by 50 percent or more.

In July, the company announced the addition of two more utilities. The first, called Task-Reminder, allows a developer to create programs that remind users, and also to create programs to manage tasks. Surround Tech says tasks can be created using any system items, including products, orders, or invoices. When it’s time for a user or a group of users to tackle a task, they can be sent a reminder from the system.

The second addition is called the Categories App. According to Surround Tech, this program allows users to identify and group associated items. Users can choose from a set of existing categories or create their own, and then assign the categories to system items, the company says. Categories are identified with a name, description, and an icon, the company adds.

The company plans to deliver the two new programs to its other major plug-in series, Accelerator for .NET, by November, the company says. For more info, see www.suroundtech.com.

Strategic Partnerships Add Value

A Case for On-Prem IBM i Deployment

As organizations decide where to run their IBM i workloads with a growing range of strategies, it becomes more important to have strong differentiators in the various options to help make prudent IT decisions. Cloud options are now becoming more widely considered, but as UCG Technologies explains in a recent IT Jungle article, these options should be weighed in comparison to purchasing or leasing your own IBM Power Server and installing it on premises or at a Co-location facility.

On premise (on-prem) deployments largely remain most cost-effective and appropriate for midrange systems, especially when factoring in backup and disaster recovery. One way to maximize this approach is to capitalize on long-standing partnerships with complimentary expertise as in the case with IBM and UCG Technologies. The IBM i Solution Edition for UCG’s VAULT400 cloud backup & DRaaS is an offering that allows organizations the ability to combine the power of IBM Power Systems and IBM i with the strengths of business applications, along with superior services and support. The leads to improved productivity and responsiveness, adaptability and competitive Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Benefits to the end user include:

Discounted single or unlimited user entitlements – Save $6,000 to $60,000
No-charge IBM i processor core entitlements
No-charge IBM i access unlimited user entitlements
Discounted Rational Developer for i
No-charge service vouchers – 4 hours or 8 hours – Value of up to $ 1,800

To receive the above benefits, end user client must meet IBM requirements including contracting for a minimum of $6,000 of VAULT400 cloud backup services for P05 or $25,000 for P10 with UCG Technologies. The IBM i Solution Edition may be purchased directly from UCG Technologies or from another qualified – authorized IBM partner.

The IBM i Solution Edition for VAULT400 cloud backup & DRaaS is available for both the IBM Power System S914 and S924. Leverage a platform that utilizes the full power of IBM i while deploying a complete backup and disaster recovery solution that delivers rapid ROI. That is an on-prem win-win for mid-market organizations.
