eCube Systems, a provider of tools and middleware products, has launched a Alternative Support Program to provide support for Borland Software’s middleware products. The program also includes maintenance and support for custom applications based on middleware products, as well as migration strategies for modernising middleware applications.
eCube claims that the future of Borland’s middleware development tools has been uncertain due to the Micro Focus acquisition and its focus on Borland’s ALM and software testing tools. eCube’s Alternative Support offerings resolves this uncertainty by providing support and maintenance services, the company said.
The company’s expanded Alternative Support offerings include: support for Borland middleware products and technology, operational support and monitoring of custom applications, developmental maintenance of custom applications built with Borland’s middleware technology, migration and upgrades to new versions or replacement technologies, and application modernisation.
According to eCube, these expanded offerings allow companies to take IT decisions based on business demands, rather than react to risk and uncertainty in ways that allows the premature retirement of technology assets.
Borland Software is a vendor of Open Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) offerings open to customers’ processes, tools and platforms.
