Australian Financial Investments Group (AFIG), owner of the Wizard Home Loans retail network, has used Software AG’s ApplinX legacy modernisation software to integrate its AS/400 mainframe with a new system based on Microsoft .NET.
Michael Hawkins, Software AG’s general manager business development Asia Pacific said, "AS/400’s have traditionally been at the bottom of the legacy systems barrel. Most users have left them alone because they are too hard to integrate or they don’t think they are important enough to make the investment in trying to integrate."
"We evaluated a number of AS/400 tools in the marketplace and ApplinX was clearly the best. It is a "lightweight" integration tool that helped us to avoid a long, complex and costly implementation path," said Peter Harvey, chief information officer, AFIG.
"We also found that alternative AS/400 integration tools did not support .NET whereas ApplinX supports J2EE, .NET, VBCOM and web services.
"We had ApplinX up and running and talking to the iSeries after only one day. My team picked the tool up quickly and we successfully delivered a complex piece of software in three months,” said Harvey. “Several AS/400 RPG programs were integrated into the solution."
