From Henrik
what do you estimate a modernization of, lets say, 500 online 5250
programs will cost in hours spend ?


Too many variables, as Jon said. The biggest variable to me would be the database design. A lot of legacy databases should be replaced - which leads to a complete rewrite. Would we be able to use DFU-GUI (GUI Data File Utility) for the online programs? Or would they need more features than DFU-GUI?

A former business partner of mine blew through about $6 million in an attempt to modernize a system about that size - and missed their objectives - even with experienced developers. I think that happens a lot more than most people are willing to admit.

Nathan.
