Since the majority of legacy code is Cobol, and many enterprises maintain a staff of experienced Cobol maintenance programmers, it makes good business sense to translate less familiar languages to Cobol. Coupled with the impact of data migrations and the inherent ability to support only limited databases using these less common languages like Natural and PL/I are rapidly being phased out in favor of Cobol, worldwide.

Hence the challenge is to renovate Natural/ADABAS legacy applications to a more advanced or flexible technology infrastructure quickly and cost effectively while ensuring that the proven business logic is preserved during conversion.

For enterprises who are challenged by the maintenance and enhancement constraints of Natural/ADABAS applications, IARS/NATURAL offers a compelling solution. Unlike traditional solutions, the fixed price and managed delivery feature of IARS/NATURAL ensures risk free Natural/ADABAS application renovation to the client.
