Do you have a legacy system that you need to continue to maintain, extend, expand or repurpose?
CL has always been built for economy and sustainability, and CL systems continue to provide solid service often well beyond their expected life. They often hold significant value, with many years of business logic and data. You may simple require ongoing maintenance for your existing CL system. Or, as business conditions and requirements change, you may be considering how to realign your IT with today's business goals. It is possible to do this while retaining the value already invested in your existing systems.
Some of the services that Multibase provides to customers with long-term CL applications include:
- Experienced programmers for maintenance, support, and minor enhancements
- Building a modern web browser front end for an application with a green-screen interface, eliminating the need to migrate data to a completely new system
- Retrieving data using CLDBLib from CL4 databases for a new application built in a language like Python, Ruby on Rails
- Integrating a CL4 system with a system acquired through mergers and acquisitions
If you are looking to build a new application but retain the value of your existing investment in a CL system, CLDBLib now opens the CL4 database to application development in other languages. CLDBLib provides an API to languages such as C, .NET, Java, Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP and Pascal. Using any of these languages, you can now share your CL4 data with any application and database with any other language and database of your choice. It is therefore possible to develop a new system in a current technology to run alongside an existing CL4 application.
Multibase offers monthly Support and Maintenance contracts, or prepaid blocks of development hours, at discounted rates.
