  • Situation Wanted: DBCS Conversion Expert For Apps Sold Into Japan

    June 10, 2019 Timothy Prickett Morgan

    Daniel Pirani is a programmer at Columbus Consulting International, based in that capital city in the state of Ohio, and he has recently done a double byte character set (DBCS) conversion of an RPG application so it can be sold into the market in Japan in the indigenous language. We heard of two vendors at the recent POWERUp 2019 conference in Anaheim who had done a similar DBCS conversion, and Pirani coincidentally reached out to us to see if there was demand for such services. We think there could be, and there is only one way to find out: Ask.

    So, here we are asking. If you have a need for DBCS conversion and are looking for an RPG programmer who can help you break into the Japanese market, then you should contact Pirani. His LinkedIn profile is here, and the DBCS.info site he created to solicit business is at this link.

    [Live Webinar] Rewrite your Synon in Java? It could be… a mistake!

    Converting from Synon CA 2E to a modern language? There are many good reasons to take this step. Beyond the critical shortage of Synon skills, applications developed in this 4GL environment can no longer take advantage of key technology advances in the IBM i operating system. And though a leader in its day, the Synon CASE tool is incompatible with modern DevOps practices and concurrent development.

    Do you think the best way to move away from Synon CA 2E is by rewriting everything in Java?

    Think again. A full rewrite is risky, expensive, and slow — often leading to years of redevelopment and countless functional regressions.

    Join Philippe Magne, CEO of ARCAD Software and Ray Bernardi, senior solution architect to learn why a conversion to Free Form RPG is a risk-free and high-performance option that leverages the architecture of the original Synon application – retaining all the reliability and security advantages of the host platform.

    In our Webinar, we will share a secure, automated migration path for business applications developed in Synon CA 2E:

    • 100% automated conversion to modern Free Form RPG and DDL (SQL)
    • Guaranteed conversion accuracy with test automation process
    • Possible modernization of the user interface during the project
    • Risk free, fixed price Modernization as a Service (MaaS)
    • Modern full DevOps framework for delivery

    Leverage the competitive advantage within your Synon application.
