A ARCAD Software Case Study
Letsos Company, a Texas mechanical contracting firm, runs its TrueLine ERP on IBM i with a mix of RPG III and RPG IV source. Their IT manager—experienced in Java and .NET—struggled with fixed-column RPG and green-screen tools and needed a graphical, easily readable solution to modernize legacy code so non-IBM i staff could maintain the system. They evaluated and chose ARCAD Software’s ARCAD-Transformer RPG.
ARCAD Software’s ARCAD-Transformer RPG automatically converted Letsos’s RPG into Free Format with near-100% accuracy and integrates with the Eclipse-based Rational Developer for i, allowing incremental conversions, easier debugging and recompilation. As a result, Letsos avoided buying a new ERP or adding hardware or staff, enabled non-IBM i developers to perform maintenance, sped up bug fixes and software updates, and protected their application investment while improving end-user satisfaction.
