| Why go to the Native Environment? |
- Your current business
applications' life is extended,
protecting your software investment.
- Your applications will be
faster and more efficient (IBM Ramp-C
performance tests show native
applications can run as much as 51%
faster than under the S/36 environment.)
- Programming staff can
experience up to a 6x programming
productivity improvement.
- You'll be able to take
advantage of all AS/400 features like
relational database, Query, Integrated
fax, PC integration, etc.
- Staff will stay
technically up to date with current
technologies.
- The AS/400 Native
Environment allows you to fully exploit
your hardware and software investment.

| Why use NCS to get to the Native
Environment? |
- Using NCS dramatically
reduces the time and resources required
by up to 90%! (Save hundreds, even
thousands of hours over manual
conversion!)
- NCS generates accurate
structured code without the inevitable
errors of a manual conversion.
- With NCS you don't need to
be a native expert or CL expert. NCS is
the expert!
- NCS is also a training
tool. Your staff can easily learn native
programming concepts by reviewing the
code generated by NCS.
- A comprehensive, easy to
understand reference manual provides
overviews, examples, hints and
suggestions.
- NCS is defined to save
your resources, freeing you to work on
other projects while NCS works for you.
