CA 2E (Synon) Modernization Series

View the Series

Online sessions that will help you drive your Synon applications forward.

CA 2E (Synon) has enabled organizations to rapidly create complex applications and systems that often serve as the backbone of business processing while providing competitive differentiation.

Although Synon applications provide great value, they make it difficult to access and share information with the organization. As businesses push to move quicker in a digital environment and Synon resources grow scarce, running these applications as-is is risky.

In this webinar series, Fresche’s modernization experts will address the top Synon modernization challenges and provide solutions that will help you mitigate risks, preserve your investment and help your organization thrive in a disruptive business environment.

Running CA 2E (Synon) Applications? It’s Time to Modernize the UI

Improve Developer Productivity with Graphical Documentation for Your Synon Applications

When managing Synon applications, critical information is often difficult to access and out of reach. Graphically documenting your IBM i applications provides quick access to the information you need to better manage, enhance and evolve your applications.

Join this session with Robert Arce and Richard Downey to learn how you can:

Document your entire system and get access to critical information locked in your 2E model, including:
- Code generated from Synon as well as manually written code, tables and user functions developed outside the Synon model
- Third party software that interfaces with the main system
- Put it all together: SQL code, triggers, program calls from scheduler tool and more
Visualize a graphical representation of the Synon DB Model and other diagrams (functions, action diagrams, internal routines), and segregate and analyze particular applications
Rapidly onboard new developers and gain better insight for faster troubleshooting
