(1888PressRelease) July 29, 2010 - Ispirer Systems Ltd., a provider of cross-platform database and application migration solutions, has introduced a new approach, which covers automated PowerBuilder applications conversion to major databases.

Modern functionality requirements and scalability necessity dictate new rules for IT experts. Out-of-date applications and databases create additional problems for professionals while expanding the productivity of existing systems. In combination with constantly increasing costs of maintenance, the support of on hand applications is becoming less and less reasonable and more expensive.

Idea of operational costs minimization forces decision-makers searching for some alternative solutions. Migration is one of them, but for the last couple years most experts were really skeptical about its results and considered it to be a very risky option. Ispirer has been migrating PowerBuilder applications for major clients over the last few years across the world. Based on the maturity of our process, we believe it now makes sense to formally offer it as a packaged solution to the rest of the market.

Ispirer Systems recommends its unique automated solution, which eliminates most of risks and decreases amount of required efforts significantly. Its product is a ready-to-go solution for automated migration of SQL statements from PowerBuilder applications to SQL Server, Oracle and open source databases.

"We've being in the market for eleven years so far, and during that time our company was trying to optimize our migration product to guarantee excellent results to our customers and help them to automate database migration process. This was the first step, right now the company is penetrating application migration domain. We've started offering full-cycle migration services from PowerBuilder to .NET and Java. First results were really promising, and we are very excited about enlarging our list of services for both database and application migrations" - said Mihail Romanovsky, Sales Manager at Ispirer Systems.
