DALLAS, TX, April 26, 2005 – Sophisticated Business Systems Inc. (SBS), a leading provider of Mainframe Conversion Solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with the leading Netherlands Software Distributor Formula OpenSoft. Their partnership will further enhance the options for companies planning to stay on the mainframe and for organizations desiring to move to newer platforms such as the .NET or Solaris environments.
SBS uses a patent-pending technology called DB-Shuttle™ to manage and automate the conversion process from end-to-end. The finished product is a functionally equivalent application with equal or better performance characteristics. SBS conversions support the market needs for improving data access, integrating data and applications, and reducing IT license costs.
“The reason for our partnership with SBS is that we want to offer to companies with legacy mainframe systems the ability with enterprise class integration between .NET and J2EE applications and z/OS mainframe environments, but also fully automated conversion solutions to migrate older applications and databases to up-to-date languages and database management systems”, according to Addie van Doorn, CEO of Formula OpenSoft.
SBS President and CEO, Tom Howard, states, “Our two companies share a vision for applications and database migration coupled with a belief that conversion is a tremendous low-risk opportunity to reduce unnecessary costs.
