• F2J Analyzer™Tool: To analyze the complexity and size of the Forté application to precisely estimate the effort involved in migration.
• F2J Miner™ Tool: To reverse engineer Forté application and to extract program specifications and generate application flow diagrams and sequence diagrams of the existing Forté applications.
• F2J Code Converter™Tool: To auto-generate Java/J2EE code from the Forte code.
• F2J GUI Designer™Tool: To auto-generate presentation layer from Forté to equivalent in J2EE for largely similar look and feel.

Arkin Software Technologies Automated Tools have been designed to greatly enhance the speed and accuracy of migration, including migration of the Business Layer, Service Layer and Presentation Layer. Our tools work for all versions of Forte. The tools generate J2EE server code which can be run on any J2EE-compliant application servers such as SunOne, Websphere, Weblogic, Jboss, Oracle iAS etc. Arkin Software Technologies tools can work with both thick-client and thin-client applications.

The tools are the culmination of several years of consulting experience in UDS, J2EE and .NET environments by our consultants. The tools help in the automation at every stage of the migration process, towards leveraging existing investments in UDS. Arkin Software Technologies tools have been developed with over 25 person-years of effort with some sizeable ongoing commitment for further improvement.

Forte migration with Arkin Software Technologies automated tools has proven to effect cost-savings upto 65% as compared to re-write.
