BluePhoenix's ASNA Breaks One Million Mark Of Sales Of DataGate
Licenses With Over 4,000 Developers Having Moved From System i
To RPG For .NET On Microsoft's Visual Studio

  Hundreds of customers around the world have already migrated with ASNA safeguarding their investment in people, applications, business processes, and data

  Solution enables developers to continue developing with RPG on .NET platform

SAN ANTONIO, TX – November 6, 2007 – ASNA, a BluePhoenix company (NASDAQ: BPHX), announced today that they have broken the one million mark in the sale of DataGate licenses with over 4,000 RPG developers having moved to Microsoft’s Visual Studio .NET Framework. Together with ASNA’s Monarch automated migration tool, DataGate enables the migration of applications from the System i to the .NET platform and SQL Server.

“Companies today need to embrace standards-based solutions and modern platforms for which programming talent is widely available,” said Anne Ferguson, president of ASNA. “Our success in moving companies and developers to RPG for .NET and Microsoft SQL Server demonstrates that CIOs today are no longer buying the party line from other vendors that the only thing you can do with legacy System i code is ‘modernize’ it with screen scrapers, which only add dubious additional value, or rewrite it with PHP or a legacy 4GL, which can take years to rewrite and test.”

“Applications developed using RPG are often key components of business operations and simply cannot be considered disposable,” continued Ferguson. “Screen scraping them isn’t enough and it is very expensive and time consuming to rewrite them, especially given the alternative of an available automated migration solution that has been proven at companies worldwide.”

For more than 25 years ASNA has led the System i market in providing enterprises with the only viable solution to optimize their investment in RPG applications. ASNA products extend the value of these assets by enabling them to integrate effectively with modern technologies such as Web services, SOA, and component-based applications.
