BluePhoenix Wins Major Contract To Modernize PowerBuilder
Applications To Java For Global Telecommunications Customer

  BluePhoenix LanguageMigrator(TM)conversion solution to be used to implement project
  Another sign of growing trend of companies migrating off PowerBuilder to Java or C#

CARY, N.C. – October 22, 2007 – BluePhoenix Solutions (NASDAQ: BPHX), the leader in value-driven legacy modernization, today announced that it has won a major contract to convert PowerBuilder applications to Java for a global telecommunications company. The modernization project will be implemented using BluePhoenix’s LanguageMigrator conversion solution, which enables organizations to automatically migrate legacy applications to prevailing languages and technologies.

PowerBuilder is a 4GL rapid application development environment originally created by Powersoft in the early ‘90s and later sold to Sybase in 1994. Over the last 15 years PowerBuilder has been used by tens of thousands of mid to large size companies to implement mission critical client / server applications. While many of these applications are still in use today, numerous companies are actively seeking to migrate away from PowerBuilder.

In fact, a recent Forrester Research report “Got Legacy? Migration Options for Applications,” notes that 92% of companies surveyed say they no longer use proprietary 4GLs (like PowerBuilder) for maintenance or new development of applications. This trend is mainly due to issues including functionality limitations, the shrinking pool of trained PowerBuilder programmers available and the increasing costs of maintaining PowerBuilder applications.

“Our customer’s changing business requirements dictates a move to a modern platform and our automatic migration solution supports their strategic direction to consolidate on Java,” said Arik Kilman, CEO of BluePhoenix. “Our LanguageMigrator solution along with our proven migration methodology enables us to guarantee results while minimizing risk and disruption to current operations.”

BluePhoenix LanguageMigrator is a highly automated industry-leading migration technology that produces an exact equivalent of the original PowerBuilder application in Java including all of the application’s business rules, without the errors common in manual coding. LanguageMigrator provides a comprehensive end-to-end migration solution that includes source code analysis, external resource identification and modification (if required), code migration, and quality assurance verification.
