ADABAS Database Migration and Modernization

An ADABAS database migration, or for that matter any legacy database modernization is not a simple task. As an organization, you have typically used your ADABAS database to write mission-critical applications that are core to the business. Yet, in today’s world, ADABAS databases and similar legacy applications are no longer mainstream, making them difficult and expensive to maintain. At the very least, an ADABAS database requires hard to find personnel with a specialized skill set, licensing is expensive, and integration of environments are complex.

Choose the Right Path for Your Valuable ADABAS Database

BluePhoenix has the expertise and automated legacy migration toolset to assist your organization with evaluating, planning, executing, and managing a complete ADABAS/Natural migration project regardless of the path you choose. Our automated toolset can efficiently migrate your ADABAS/Natural applications to newer technologies. You can take your ADABAS database to any relational database on or off the mainframe. Common scenarios include ADABAS migrations to DB2 or ADABAS migrations to SQL. Organizations can migrate their Natural applications to Java, C#, or COBOL based on company policy and methodology. Our automated legacy migration toolset has specific capabilities for dealing with all the issues involved in an ADABAS/Natural migration. Our legacy migration tools provide not only the ability to perform an ADABAS to DB2, ADABAS to SQL or ADABAS to Oracle transformation, but also the ability to gain understanding of the application and enhance issues such as performance in the process.
