SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — ASNA, a BluePhoenix Solutions company , today announced the release of a revolutionary version of its Monarch modernization solution. Monarch 4.0 is the fastest path available today for organizations who wish to expand or migrate their monolithic AS/400, iSeries, or System i green screen and web-faced RPG applications to the growing microsoft .NET Framework.
Monarch 4.0 analyzes and migrates RPG III/ILE RPG and CL programs, Display and Print files, and optionally, System i DB2 data, to Microsoft’s .NET Framework and SQL Server.

“Many of these organizations are constrained by the System i character-based user interface and the difficulty to add functionality and interface with modern technologies. They are also constrained by the shrinking pool of skills and resources available to support these systems.”
“ASNA System i Expansion and Modernization Service with Monarch, enables companies to get closer to their customers, increase their market agility, improve their ability to innovate, and integrate better with suppliers, customers, and business partners,” continued Ross. “Monarch 4.0 is the fastest means by which organizations can rapidly transform and enhance their legacy System i application portfolio into re-energized systems that can answer today’s most challenging business demands.”
