The high maintenance costs and lack of ADABAS\/Natural\u00ae developers is causing companies to look at migration routes to more modern technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Through the years, ADABAS\/Natural\u00ae has been a very popular environment for developing business applications. Nowadays, using this veteran technology brings some disadvantages such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><strong>Cost:<\/strong> The cost of licenses and maintenance an organization needs to pay every year is very high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Resources: It is almost impossible to find trained developers in Natural and ADABAS, DBA\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\"><strong>Agility:<\/strong> Modern development technologies like Java or C#.NET provide a more agile environment. In today\u2019s marketplace, businesses must have the ability to rapidly change their IT systems due to market needs or changes in regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">As companies try to leverage the tremendous investment they have made in their existing ADABAS\/Natural\u00ae applications, they face a formidable challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Our DBMS Migrator for the conversion of ADABAS\/Natural\u00ae is the answer: a cutting-edge, high-efficiency solution for migrating from ADABAS\/Natural\u00ae to RDBMS\/Java or<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>C#.NET. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The use of a 100% automated migration has many benefits compared to the alternative of rewriting the application and losing most of the past investment. The data structure is migrated to a relational model, keeping all the connections and dependences, while enabling excellent performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\"> The new Java or<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>C#.NET application maintains the content and structure of the original Natural application.
