Founded in 1982, Forecross Corporation is a high-technology company dedicated to the design and development of innovative software to re-deploy and sustain legacy applications on the Internet.  Forecross Corporation is the world's leading authority on the development and use of automated re-deployment technologies and associated methodologies, and is now focusing these technologies and methodologies on making legacy applications "e-Ready". Initially dedicated to developing custom-designed automated conversion products, Forecross Corporation pioneered a unique conversion architecture used in all of our products. This powerful, flexible technology (known as XCODE) has been refined over the last decade and forms the foundation of our commercially available conversion products and our new legacy-to-web software solutions. This XCODE architecture has enabled Forecross to become a leader in making legacy applications ready for Internet and business-to-business integration (e-Ready).


XCODE Architecture
The XCODE architecture (see diagram to the right) is a repository based software engine which is coupled with a highly sophisticated set of input/output parsers and transformation tools to form the basis of our all our products and service offerings. These products allow each Client to select specific customization options. The chart to the right illustrates this concept.

Software Migration
Our Convert Series of products and fully automated Migration Factory allow us to automate up to 100% of an application redeployment including the translation of languages, user interfaces and database platforms. This reduces the cost, risk, and time required compared to other solutions. 
The Convert Series of products currently includes:

Convert/ADSO Convert/CSP Convert/IDMS-DC
Convert/CSP Convert/VSAM


Forecross can also custom-design tools for source and target platforms not currently supported by our Convert Series.  The Migration Factory allows us to offer Clients the most cost-effective, resource-efficient and error-free method of converting their systems. The Factory is a combination of procedures, processes and software that allow for up to 100% automation of all phases of the conversion process including programs, database definitions and data.

Application Integrity
Change is the only constant in both business and technology. But even the simplest change creates huge integrity exposures for all enterprise applications. With customer-facing applications and data being deployed on the web every day, it is now mandatory that IT organizations implement effective application integrity management to prevent these systems from devolving into non-maintainable chaos and crashing on the web for the entire world to see. Forecross has solutions that ensure the integrity of your IT applications is protected.  SourceSentinel is the first in a series of products we've designed to address your Application Integrity.

XML Solutions
XML is the future of data. Forecross Corporation, building on our proprietary XCODE Architecture, is introducing a series of XML solution offerings that enable enterprises to rapidly make their legacy applications e-Ready. The initial software products support sophisticated XML tagging of legacy data and the integration of XML document input and output with legacy applications. Additionally, our XML Quick Start provides a rapid way for companies to get up-to-speed on this important new technology.
