ATERAS ANNOUNCES ADABAS/NATURAL MIGRATION STRATEGY

29/03/2007


DALLAS, March 29 /PRNewswire/ --

ATERAS, a leading provider of fully automated legacy migration and
modernization solutions, today announced its ADABAS/Natural conversion
solution strategy that will enable organizations to migrate ADABAS databases
and Natural applications to relational databases such as DB2, Oracle, or SQL
Server using its automation technology DB-Shuttle(TM). Natural can be
converted to COBOL, C# or VB.NET. The ADABAS/Natural conversion solution
product offering helps organizations automatically migrate applications to
modern, open technologies and database management systems. When an
ADABAS/Natural migration is complete, a client will have functionally
equivalent, seamlessly integrated applications, with Web capability that
provides a reduced cost structure, improved business agility and applications
that are SOA enabled and able to take advantage of new technical
capabilities.


The ADABAS/Natural conversion solution product is another component in
the overall DB-Shuttle Strategy, which includes: comprehensive IT
assessments, database and data migrations and application migrations. The
ATERAS solution ensures that the migration of ADABAS/Natural will be
completed in a timely, cost effective and low risk manner. Our solution
includes no system level software, no "black box" processing, no
perpetuation of ADABAS, no additional execution overhead, no functional
changes from an end-user perspective, and no license fees. The ATERAS
solution provides for the complete replacement of ADABAS/Natural to newer
relational technology databases and newer robust languages using highly
automated tools and a comprehensive, streamlined and very mature process. The
ADABAS/Natural conversion solution is designed to maintain comparable or
improved application response times of the converted applications in the
target environment and to ensure scalability, reliability and performance.
The resulting conversion solution is a 3-tier architecture consisting of a
User Interface Layer, Business Layer and Data Access Layer for each converted
program.


"Providing an ADABAS/Natural migration solution is an important addition
to our DB-Shuttle automation technology suite of products. There is a high
demand for ATERAS to provide an ADABAS solution -- doing so will widen our
product offering and customer base. Globally, ATERAS has had many successes
with its other solutions (IDMS, IMS) that convert older applications and
databases to new technologies," states Scott Miller, president and chief
executive officer of ATERAS.
