Studio Enterprise Edition provides a tool suite that enables you to migrate business applications to lower cost environments. You can also use the product to maintain, improve and modernize the migrated application.
Studio Enterprise Edition supports many mainframe technologies, such as CICS, IMS, JCL, and DB2 on Linux, UNIX, and Windows. This means that the core online and batch application logic can be migrated and reused with minimal modification on any of these new environments.
The product also includes the development and testing tools you need to modernize the migrated applications, to exploit existing interfaces and extend them to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), through .NET, Web services or J2EE.
The Studio Enterprise Edition suite supports the entire development life cycle from analysis to test, while its companion product, Server Enterprise Edition, supports the deployment of the migrated application on the new production platform.
