Jazillian Introduces “natural” Java™ Translation Solution C-to-Java Translation Tool Dramatically Reduces Rewrite Costs, Speeds Migration

Jazillian’s C-to-Java Translation Solution uses a pattern-matching, rules-based engine to generate “natural” Java source code that is readable, consistent and maintainable. Lauded by clients for its ability to produce high quality code, Jazillian’s translation solution produces customized Java output code based on client and application needs.

“Our C-to-Java Translation Solution includes a translator and process that speeds the migration of legacy mainframe and client-server systems to web-based application environments. Jazillian generates error-free, readable, maintainable code and completes the code translation process quickly and with a high degree of quality,” said Jazillian President Andy Tripp. “Unlike other translators, this tool creates code that is extensible and a strong starting point for J2EE development.”

In recent client applications, the Jazillian solution lowered rewrite time and costs by more than 80 percent compared to traditional handwritten conversions that often require extensive re-work plus error and bug corrections.

“Not only is it faster, the Jazillian’s C-to-Java Translation Solution generates Java output code that is 100 percent useable and realistic,” continued Tripp, “so it is viable for multiple industries and government agencies. It is a sound alternative for software companies that would otherwise turn to offshore offerings.” According to Steve Ghareeb, Jazillian’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, the company’s C-to-Java Translation Solution is ideal for environments where large legacy code bases have traditionally made justifying rewrites and new development difficult because they were monstrous projects that required extensive resources redesign and bug corrections.

“For integrators delivering massive projects, Jazillian’s C-to-Java Solution assures them the confidence to propose a ‘transfer or rewrite’ option when the existing application source code is solid and works. This alternative ensures that proven business rules and processes remain in place, which ultimately reduces time for design, process definition, training, test and deployment.”

The Jazillian team will be demonstrating its C-to-Java Translation Solution at Booth #1603 during the JavaOne conference in San Francisco, CA this week. A free code-translation demonstration is also available online at www.jazillian.com.
