AS/400 I-CASE Solution
For more infomation please contact our Business Partner Computer Systems Advisers (CSA).
Times are changing rapidly. In order to keep up with this ever-increasing rate of change, IS organizations are moving to faster ways of building systems including rapid prototyping methodologies, application generators and products which simplify deployment and maintenance of applications on multiple platforms. Supporting these key areas, Synon/2E provides the platform of choice for design, construction and maintenance of industrial strength applications. However, in order to quickly communicate business requirements in an effective way, it is essential to use graphical modeling tools.
Recognizing the need for highly integrated graphical design and development, Synon has enhanced our family of products to include an integrated tool set for the AS/400 software developer. Rather than create a generic integration feature for all tools, Synon and Computer Systems Advisers (CSA) have formed a tight partnership to offer a "Best of Breed" solution to automate and integrate the application development life cycle.
Synon/2E and CSA's SILVERRUN are such a solution.
A PC-based upper CASE workbench for modeling and designing information systems, SILVERRUN is used jointly with Synon Gateway/SR to provide developers with bi-directional, design-level integration of data model specifications. This integration enables developers to exchange design information between Synon/2E data models and the SILVERRUN RDM dictionary to automate the transition between analysis and design.
Synon Gateway/SR is the bi-directional bridge between SILVERRUN RDM and Synon/2E providing synchronized import and export of complete design specifications. Full inter-tool synchronization yields complete design specifications in either direction, including support for the following Synon/2E Design Objects:
The Synon SILVERRUN CASE Tool Workbench includes the following modules:
SILVERRUN's graphical interface enables you to create
industrial-strength data models easily.
Using SILVERRUN and Synon/2E jointly provides AS/400 developers with an unprecedented level of integration and automation throughout the application analysis, design, prototyping and development cycle. As developers are not limited by ESF constraints, the environment FULLY supports Synon/2E data modeling objects.
Important benefits are associated with the simultaneous use of these integrated tools, including the increased performance and greater accuracy that results from fully automating the application life cycle. And the bi-directional interface means that there will be no loss of design specifications between SILVERRUN and Synon/2E.
By combining the graphical user-friendly environment of CSA's SILVERRUN upper CASE workbench and the robust design features of Synon/2E, we offer an integrated product line which fully supports all data modeling features of Synon/2E - without work-arounds or manual adjustments.
With Synon's Integrated CASE Environment you have all the tools you need to architect industrial strength applications - and graphically represent them for real-time presentation to decision makers in your organization to make sure requirements are accurate before you build the application.
“SILVERRUN was crucial during our Joint Requirements Planning (JRP) done by our Synon developers and middle management teams. The Synon developers asked business questions, and middle management gave business answers which we immediately saw projected on the wall in front of us in a form we could all understand.”
