EDESE successfully completes the modernization of its applications based on Natural Adabas with Cenia Platform
EDESE has completed the migration project for its Commercial Management System, which is based on Natural Adabas technology on Unix, to convert it into open technology, free of rights of use and that can evolve in the future according to business needs. The code conversion has gone through the implementation of CENIA (Costaisa Enterprise Natural Infrastructure Architecture), Costaisa's solution which in recent years has been the protagonist of the main conversion projects from Natural Adabas to Java technology all over the world.
Cenia makes it possible to tackle, with guarantees, strategic projects that affect the operational bases of the critical applications of many customers who still rely on this technology for important information subsystems. Our project approach minimizes the risk of a big bang by maintaining the organizational structure and the consequent business knowledge. Likewise, it consolidates the business logic of applications with limited evolution and converts them into equally stable but modern, open and standard architectures.
According to Mario Basualdo, CIO of Edese, "the great challenge we had set ourselves, we have more than covered; we continue to work at full capacity and without any impact at the organizational level. Cenia has allowed us to lay the foundations to improve our systems, and to do so smoothly by allowing our resources to continue working on Natural during this process. This transformation, without Cenia, would have taken us several years of effort."
The project has involved the conversion of 3,454 Natural programs with close to 630,000 lines of code, 1,381 maps and 120 different databases, in less than six months, and has been carried out jointly with our local partner Neologics.
