As businesses today are moving away from the Synon technologies (CA 2E, formerly known as Synon, Synon/2, Synon/2E, COOL:2E, Advantage 2E, AllFusion 2E), there is a challenge to preserve the huge past investment in applications developed using this technology. The most frequent reasons for this migration are high license costs, lack of developers, lack of business agility, and expected end-of-life announcements (as no new versions are being released).
Synon/2 applications were very common on the System i (formerly AS/400) platform, and as this platform is at the end of its life cycle as well, it is very important to move an organization’s applications to a newer platform and environment.
The BluePhoenix CA 2E migration solution can replace CA 2E applications with clean, easy-to-read Java applications that require no runtime license.
For IT organizations wanting to maintain their applications in open, standard environments, a migration of CA 2E to native Java means an enormous cost savings over the life of the application.
