Optimize applications – while reducing maintenance costs
Maintenance can consume up to 75% of your application development budget. So simplify how you optimize and change application code! With Software AG’s solutions, you can reduce maintenance costs and save more money to put back into your business.
Using Natural Engineer, you can decrease application maintenance by up to 90%! Robust documentation and visualization tools make understanding and analyzing your applications virtually effortless. You can automatically scrub bad or redundant code. You can automate individual changes and pre-coded solutions to eliminate repetitive manual code revisions. Furthermore, you can easily transform Natural report mode applications to structured mode without changing the functional behavior. With Natural Engineer’s Refactoring add-on product, you can separate data access, presentation and business logic layers of an object—preparing applications for use in an SOA.
Predict and Predict Application Control – other Life Cycle Management solutions – offer application, metadata and configuration management to support team-based development projects.
