Make Technologies(R) Inc. Announces New ISV Suite
New Module Development, Cloud enablement and easier Customer Rollout are
just a few ways Independent Software Vendors can reinvent their legacy
product and stay ahead of their market
VANCOUVER, June 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Make Technologies, a leading provider
of legacy application modernization technologies and solutions, today
announced the launch of its innovative Make Technologies ISV Suite for
independent software vendors. ISV Suite includes everything a software
company needs to reinvent its products and stay ahead in its market.
Many software vendors have built their products on legacy platforms that
are as much as 25 years old. This makes it difficult to improve their
feature sets, integrate with other products and to take advantage of
modern technologies such as cloud and mobile. As a result, these
vendors are losing market share to more nimble competitors that are
better able to embrace cutting-edge technologies. These vendors have a
critical choice to make: rejuvenate legacy platforms through a
modernization initiative or face market share erosion.
With the Make Technologies ISV Suite, independent software vendors can
revitalize their product offerings and give their customers all the
advantages of a modern technology stack. With ISV Suite, vendors get:
-- Cloud enablement: to transform the way products are delivered
to customers by creating a cloud-ready software package
-- Rich user experience: to provide easy-to-use interfaces in a
variety of environments, including mobile devices, to
streamline user training and improve productivity.
-- Global reach: to increase market coverage by adding full
internationalization and improved extensibility.
The Make Technologies ISV Suite uses TLM® 6, the proven modernization
platform, to cover the three key components of the product
modernization lifecycle:
1. Application re-architecture: Make Technologies conducts an
in-depth analysis of every aspect of a legacy product; including
functionality, source code and data structures. Next we help
determine which functionality can be slimmed down, reused or
eliminated as the product transitions to a modern architecture.
Make Technologies ensures valuable intellectual property built up
in the code base over time is safely retained while still adopting
a new state-of-the-art, cloud-enabled platform.
2. New module development: ISVs can leverage Make Technologies' TLM
Application Design and Collaboration tools to define and build the
new features and modules of the modernized product. This allows
software vendors to deliver the improvements their customers have
been asking for at a fraction of the cost of traditional
approaches while ensuring that the new functionality is seamlessly
integrated with the modernized functionality.
3. Customer roll-out: Make Technologies provides the tools needed to
automatically and smoothly upgrade an ISV's customers to its
modernized system. ISVs can use Make Technologies' TLM Code and
Data Analysis products to identify not just custom modifications
to source code but also the business impact of those changes. TLM
Data Migration uses the transformation rules created during
modernization to automatically migrate customer data to the
rearchitected system.
"To keep pace with changing customer needs, every independent software
vendor needs to add new features and improve the functionality of their
products," says Bill Bergen, President and CEO of Make Technologies.
"The only way to do this is through a highly scalable, modernized
architecture. The Make Technologies ISV Suite lets you leapfrog your
competition and set a new standard in your market."
A hosted webinar about the Make Technologies ISV Suite will be presented
on Wednesday July 13, 2011 at 8:30am PDT. Registration available by
