Fresche Solutions

RPG, COBOL, Synon and DDS have served organizations for decades because they provide business rules, operational procedures and customer data. However, it’s difficult to find resources to maintain and modernize them.

Fresche application and database modernization solutions include skills and tool-assisted re-architecting and rewriting for:

• Converting RPG and Synon to modern languages (PHP/Java/RPG Free)
• Moving DDS to modern databases (DDS to DDL, SQL, etc.) without recompiling
• Integrating with other applications

Fresche provides dedicated tools and expertise to better manage and maintain everything from infrastructure to applications on IBM i. Augmenting existing staff and backfilling retiring staff with highly trained and skilled technical resources can help you bring more projects to completion and enable IT to deliver better value to the business.

Our operations management solutions provide the most innovative and advanced practices and comprehensive SLAs for response, uptime, backup and business continuity
