11
Why havent you made the move?

• You told us
• Business-oriented reasons
• I dont need new functionality or features
• I dont have the resources for upgrading,
  migrating and/or transforming
• I cant count the users or they only use the
  application a couple of times a month but theres
  no agent based pricing anymore
• The benefits of rolling out the new release do
  not outweigh the cost
• Development-oriented reasons
• I dont have the assets and skills to take
  advantage of the new features
• I dont have customer requirements that force to
  move forward
• There are no new technologies that Im forced to
  leverage
• Service Oriented Architecture, OpenEdge Reference
  Architecture, Application Transformation
  Approach, its just too complex for me
• Can I learn and try before I buy (in)?

If the benefits dont seem to outweigh the
cost,theres no reason to move

Getting to the Benefits of OpenEdge 10
Upgrade
Transform
Migrate

• Load Go - Leverage new capabilities without
  changing code

• Add new capabilities without major architecture
  changes

• Leverage new capabilities and approaches to
  change architecture

17
Upgrading to OpenEdge 10
Definition Leveraging new capabilities without
changing one letter of code

• Operations
• Major performance increases
• SQL Engine, ODBC JDBC Type II Storage areas,
  Capacity Limits removed
• Increased uptime
• Adding tables, field, indexes on the fly
  OpenEdge Management Replication, etc
• Compliance Auditing, Wire Encryption, Business
  Continuity, Business Intelligence
• Enhanced look feel (XP manifest)
• Globalization (e.g. Unicode)
• Easier Deployment - Silent Install, Application
  Server Packaging
• New platform support (V9 is mature)

• Development
• OpenEdge Architect
• Eclipse based, project based, role based, basic
  SCM
• DB Navigator, ProDataSet Designer, Debugger
• But, AppBuilder/ADM2 still there, launch
  separately or within OpenEdge Architect and with
  10.1B also Dynamics

Convert the DB, compile the code, test and deploy!

Transforming to OpenEdge 10
Benefits Leveraging new capabilities to change
Architecture

• Development
• Application Transformation Approach
• Guideline how to approach assessment, analyses,
  redesign, harvest, build and test
• NOT the enforced way how to get there!
• Break the larger project into manageable smaller
  iterations to mitigate risk

In many ways, transformation is a more structured
and planned migration because it includes
architectural changes
22
Transforming to OpenEdge 10
Definition Leveraging new capabilities to change
Architecture

• Development
• OpenEdge Reference Architecture
• Guideline how to (re-)architect a modern
  application..
• ..NOT the enforced or only way to do it!
• Prioritize!
• Maybe you need fancy UI, integration or n-tier
  first before separating ALL the layers, all the
  clients, all data access, etc!

In many ways, transformation is a more structured
and planned migration because it includes
architectural changes
