Jon,

You need to read the whole thing..
"we offer automated transformation services to convert CA 2E applications
to CA Plex Java or .NET,"

2E --> Plex (Java or .NET) isn't the same as trying to go from 2E to
straight Java or .NET.

As soon as I saw the words "... maintaining, modernizing and
re-platforming CA 2E applications ..." It put me right off. I note that
they also convert the code to .Net or Java - and I have yet to see any
conversion like that produce readable maintainable code - but maybe that's
just me.

The OP might also consider Arcad's 2E modernization tools. They convert
the 2E app to a very modern, modularized RPG. This would be a great way of
working towards Jack's idea of a web service-based architecture.

Are you looking to throw away everything you have and start over?

Or are you hoping to migrate CA 2E to something else?

In the case of the latter, the only company I'm aware of that's done so

is

CM First.

Our development team is currently using an older version of Synon CA2E

for

developing screens/applications. The new goal is to be more web facing
using a more modern toolset. While we have a few solutions in mind, we
want to reach out the Midrange community to get a feel for what others

were

using in this space.
