Unify, a provider of application modernization services, has acquired CipherSoft, a Canada-based software migration company

According to Unify, the acquisition further expands its portfolio of application migration services to address the large number of enterprises using Oracle Forms applications and complements its application modernization strategy, which includes its Composer for Lotus Notes and Composer Sabertooth migration services.

Unify has said that CipherSoft’s technology and expertise allow for the automatic conversion of Oracle Forms and PL/SQL code to Java or to the most current version of Oracle Forms. By automating the migration process, CipherSoft’s Exodus system removes the risk of human error and produces standardized business applications that are fully maintainable and cost effective, helping companies stay competitive.

Todd Wille, CEO of Unify, said: We are extremely excited to have the CipherSoft team join forces with Unify and expand our application modernization portfolio. Enterprises running older versions of Oracle Forms need a path forward to today’s technology whether its Oracle Forms 10g or ADF or a new standardized business application running on Java. Exodus is the leading Oracle Forms migration product on the market and the only one to be validated by Oracle for Forms to Java/J2EE migration.
