“
This large Natural/Adabas application was developed in-house and has been in production since January 1992. It was originally a mainframe application that was later converted to run on a Unix server and then later converted to a Linux server. When it came time to upgrade the Linux OS and the Software AG products, we decided to get help from the Professional Services group at Software AG. The project went smoothly. We could not have done this project without their Professional Services.
