OpenROAD makes application modernization easy

Application modernization offers exciting opportunities for making a high impact on business agility, user experiences, developer productivity, sustainability, innovation, and more. Yet organizations settle for the status quo because application modernization can be a long, expensive, and risky journey that involves replacing thousands of lines of custom-developed business logic. OpenROAD, solves this issue by allowing you to retain and reuse your investment in existing business logic and offering tools that make it easy to deliver modern user interfaces.

OpenROAD migration tools modernize “green screen” Ingres ABF applications by converting ABF forms into OpenROAD frames. Encapsulating ABF business logic and deploying it in an OpenROAD Server preserves and protects application development investment. You can transform OpenROAD thick-client applications to browser-based equivalents without the cost, resource, effort, and risk associated with rewriting or replacing code. Developers can then extend these applications for web and mobile deployment, using HTML5, JavaScript, and WebView2.

Features

  • Easily reuse business logic to preserve and protect your application development investment.
  • Deploy OpenROAD Server in the cloud using microservices and containers for portable and scalable business logic, fast communication between distributed systems, and simplified rapid development with Volt MX, .NET, Java, and
  • OpenROAD.
  • Modernize server communications, performance, and compatibility with microservices, or containers leveraging OpenROAD’s gRPC architecture.
  • Build applications that support Actian databases such as Ingres, Actian X, and Vector.
  • Use the Enterprise Access gateway to access popular databases on Windows and Unix. Enterprise Access implements an interface similar in appearance and behavior to each supported database, allowing a single Enterprise Access client application to access these data sources.
