EAE to AB Suite Upgrade: Where to Next?

Choosing to upgrade from EAE to Agile Business Suite (AB Suite®) opens you up to a whole new world of opportunities and possibilities.

And once you’ve made the move, we’ll work closely with you to make sure you benefit from all the software has to offer.

You’ll be able to realize these benefits by leveraging post-upgrade services that focus
on helping you:

• Deliver a modern user experience, mobile-enable your AB Suite applications,
  or integrate them into a SOA landscape or other environments
• Stay current on the latest AB Suite release and implement powerful new capabilities that add more value to your applications
• Address skill gaps, so you have more time to focus on strategic matters

Application Evolution for Today – and Tomorrow

Delivering IT services across traditional and mobile channels is critical to gaining an edge in today’s dynamic world. With our help, you’ll be able to adapt and evolve your applications to fit new and changing environments.

With the SOA and Application Interface Enrichment Services, you’ll be able to integrate your ClearPath® system with those residing in distributed environments, as well as refresh and extend your existing AB Suite applications to new ends.

This way, you can take steps toward full SOA engagement, open up your applications via Web Services, or provide new end-user interfaces.

We’ll work with you to combine the ClearPath Forward™ ePortal for MCP with AB Suite in a manner that helps you modernize your applications for access across desktop PCs, tablets, and smartphones. You’ll learn how to use ePortal Developer to modernize your application’s UI. Or, you can start with an ePortal proof-of-concept engagement to help justify the effort and demonstrate rapidly visible results. At the same time, we’ll help you upload the specification to our CloudBuild portal, where we’ll work with you to create native apps for the most common mobile operating systems, including Apple® iOS and Android™.

We’ll also help you integrate your AB Suite applications with our Enterprise Output Manager software to automate routine print
and output-management activities.

Core Features, Maximum Value

Sometimes, doing more with what’s already in place can make a world of difference. That’s why we offer several services aimed at helping you maximize the capabilities inherent in AB Suite, so you can translate them into discernable business value.

With the help of our Version Control Workshop and Version Control Implementation Services, you’ll be able to recognize – and make use of – the many possibilities AB Suite and Microsoft® Team Foundation Server offer in the area of application lifecycle management. We’ll also help you fine tune your processes and mentor and assist your staff during the TFS implementation. These services can serve as an appropriate starting point on the journey towards DevOps.

When you want the freedom to design and create UIs on your terms, look no further than the Agile Business Suite Client Framework. It brings a new perspective to classic AB Suite applications by opening them up to modern, front-end application development practices without losing the strength of AB Suite’s model-based development environment. When you use the Client Framework Implementation Service, you’ll have the resources you need to effectively put the feature in place – and learn how you can use it to develop modern front-end applications with AB Suite.

And with our AB Suite education services, you’ll have access to standard courses and customized training that help you optimize your investment in all things AB Suite.

Driving Business Agility Through Insight

Applications are the lifeline of your organization. They’re the connective tissue that links together your stakeholders, internal and external end users, business partners, and more, enabling everyone to have meaningful interactions with the business. Because of this, application performance management is a truly critical concern.

When you use our expert Managed Services, you’ll have access to a worldwide network of cost-effective delivery centers and global service management platform that combine to help you alleviate the strain associated with managing your AB Suite applications and related infrastructure.

And with the ability to draw from a deep pool of proven experts on an as-needed basis, our Staff Augmentation Services give you the flexibility and scalability required to keep pace with changing business goals and fluctuating demand for specific skill sets and resource levels.
