ASNA Visual RPG for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET - modern development solutions for RPG programmers
ASNA Visual RPG (AVR) is a modern implementation of RPG that enables RPG developers to easily build Web and Windows applications. AVR provides direct, secure and fast access to both files and program objects on IBM's iSeries server. Using a familiar, but modernized syntax, RPG programmers can quickly apply their long-standing RPG experience to create modern applications that connect seamlessly to the AS/400, iSeries, and System i5 platform.
 
ASNA Monarch - extending the value of RPG applications and programs
Monarch is a comprehensive set of tightly coupled software applications that improves the performance, integration, and usability of RPG and CL programs and applications. Using Monarch, developers transform once monolithic applications to become contemporary applications supporting n-tier architectures, modern user interfaces, enterprise application integration, Web services, and similar capabilities using the Microsoft Windows .NET platform.

Monarch automates the processes required to transform RPG programs or entire applications to the Microsoft .NET architecture while preserving the original program logic and application functionality. Once transformed using Monarch, applications may be extended, modified, or enhanced by both RPG and Visual Studio development teams.

ASNA Monarch is the only product that enables an enterprise to comprehensively evaluate its RPG programs, applications, and data, prepare a project roadmap that meets the needs of the business, and then automatically execute staged extension and modernization of those important software assets. The entire process leverages the skills of current development teams, and the transformation requires a very small fraction of the time and resource required using any other approach.

The result; RPG applications become modernized and extended to contemporary architectures, while the enterprise continues to benefit from every element of its iSeries/System i5 portfolio including; applications, people, business logic, and data.

Applications can communicate directly with an iSeries/i5 database or Microsoft's SQL Server
