Replatforming IBM AS/400 based systems using WaveMaker

Technology Category	Application Infrastructure & Middleware - API Integration & Management Application Infrastructure & Middleware - Data Exchange & Integration Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Application Development Platforms
Applicable Industries	Professional Service
Applicable Functions	Business Operation
Services	Software Design & Engineering Services System Integration
Challenge	The client used a centralized member management system to manage their data related to legal professionals they govern. All these data were stored in a built-in DB2 of IBM AS/400 system and were accessed via green screen applications. Lack of flexibility to handle changing needs in business processes, rising maintenance costs, hardware risks, and vendor lock-in forced the client to move their proprietary systems onto standards-based platforms.

About Customer	Our client is one of the oldest self-governing bodies in North America responsible for the regulation of lawyers and paralegals. The organization sets standards for admission into the legal profession and works in the public interest by ensuring lawyers meet high standards of competence and professional conduct and advancing the cause of justice and the rule of law.

Solution	WaveMaker was their choice of platform as it automates the bulk of activity required to carry out a modernization of this scale. It drastically reduces the time and cost of actioning modernization, future proofs applications, and allows for cost-effective scalability without compromising on system resilience. WaveMaker provided several value adds including DB schema redesign, API generation, user interface improvements, and external integrations. The platform's ability to auto-generate efficient APIs and leverage preloaded widgets and UI themes optimized for cross-screen compatibility significantly reduced project effort. Additionally, WaveMaker's support for existing SOAP APIs and quick generation of new APIs facilitated seamless integration with external and internal services. Read More Log in to view content

Challenge

The client used a centralized member management system to manage their data related to legal professionals they govern. All these data were stored in a built-in DB2 of IBM AS/400 system and were accessed via green screen applications. Lack of flexibility to handle changing needs in business processes, rising maintenance costs, hardware risks, and vendor lock-in forced the client to move their proprietary systems onto standards-based platforms.

About Customer

Our client is one of the oldest self-governing bodies in North America responsible for the regulation of lawyers and paralegals. The organization sets standards for admission into the legal profession and works in the public interest by ensuring lawyers meet high standards of competence and professional conduct and advancing the cause of justice and the rule of law.

Solution

WaveMaker was their choice of platform as it automates the bulk of activity required to carry out a modernization of this scale.
