Why Migrate From Forte

Ever since Sun's announcement on the future of the Forte/UDS platform, the decision to migrate is now a question of "when" rather than "why". The main reasons for this are:

• Phase-out of the Forte platform
• Increased licensing and support cost
• Lack of new features
• Limited support for new technologies
• Incompatibility with newer versions of OS or DBMS
• Inability to market products written in outdated platform
• Difficulty to staff project due to lack of resources
• Ability to converge to a enterprise standard platform
• Wide variety of choice for products in Java and .NET
• Ability to leverage open source software
