looksoftware announces 'looksolutions', ready-to-implement modernization solutions for legacy applications

Melbourne, Australia – April 27, 2004 – Leading application modernization tools provider looksoftware, today announced 'looksolutions', a directory of solutions that utilize the company's tools. 'looksolutions' provide pre-built application modernization and enterprise integration modules for popular iSeries applications such as BPCS, PeopleSoft World, EAM amongst others.

looksoftware Director Marcus Dee said, "The looksolutions directory helps customers and partners reduce costs and implementation timeframes by reusing modernization repositories already tried and tested."

'looksolutions' incorporates looksoftware's rich refacing and integration features in these pre-built modernization modules for specific applications. Most of the solutions have been built by application vendors who have strong domain knowledge and who address vertical markets including education, manufacturing, retail, government, finance and insurance.

Features included in 'looksolutions' are; Web Enablement, Desktop Integration, Rapid UI customization, Rapid Business Rules Extension, Portal Integration, ERP-CRM Integration and Enterprise Integration.

An excellent example is 'looksolutions for BPCS' which includes a complete repository for the popular BPCS ERP application. Thousands of companies continue to use SSA's BPCS ERP system. Typically using core functionality - that is often customized - the traditional RPG application does not easily integrate with new technologies and other applications. The low risk, low cost of modernizing BPCS using a pre-built looksoftware solution compares favourably to the high costs and risks of buying and implementing a new ERP package.
