Ray EverhartFresche Solutions |
Ray Everhart is senior product manager of X-Analysis at Fresche Solutions. Everhart has spent years helping IBM i companies by assessing their RPG, COBOL and CA 2E (Synon) applications and processes to improve business outcomes. As product manager for X-Analysis, he works closely with IBM i customers to understand their business goals and technical needs in order to drive innovation within the product suite.
ABSTRACT:
Simplifying IBM i Application Management
with X-Analysis
A study from the Singapore Management University says that developers only spend 5 percent of their time writing new code. They spend 20 percent of their time modifying legacy code, and they spend 60 percent of their time trying to understand the code before they modify it.
Our strength as programmers lies not only in the code we write, but also in the tools we use. Tools often determine how productive, efficient and accurate we are – especially when working with applications that we didn't write.
Join Ray Everhart from Fresche Solutions for an educational session about how Fresche's X-Analysis reduces the time, effort and risk associated with managing large RPG, COBOL and CA (2E) SYNON applications.
Ray will demonstrate and discuss:
- How discovery and understanding simplifies application management
- Practical examples to automate documentation, impact analysis, code cleanup, field resizing and more
About X-Analysis: X-Analysis automates application documentation, impact analysis, audits code quality, extracts business rules, and facilitates modernization. Additionally, it reduces the time, effort, and risks associated with managing large IBM i applications, while also giving CIOs and business stakeholders the critical insights they need to make informed, data-driven decisions.
