Forte Architecture Migration

Architecture is one of the most critical components of your application. The desired qualities for all software projects are maintainability, flexibility, scalablity, cost, etc., A good architecture helps achieve these by capturing design decisions at an early stage of the project life-cycle.

At Agile IT Partners, we see architecture migration as an integral part of a Forte migration project. It is therefore important to qualify and quantify the architectural attributes of the existing Forte application and the expectation from the target Java or .NET application. These attributes include:

• performance response
• reliability
• availability
• security
• maintainability
• scalability

The Java and .NET platforms share a number of common features that can be leveraged by automated migration. It is important to identify these early on in the migration process so that the implementation can ensure that they will be met.
