LANSA's integrated software suite
LANSA’s software suite contains four flagship products, and a set of ancillary products, that can be deployed individually to solve specific requirements or woven into an entire infrastructure. Think of each product as a building block that is not only optimized for a specific task but that is also a big step forward in deploying a new platform.
The only IDE you will ever need for Windows or System i
Visual LANSA is the name of our Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for
building, modernizing and integrating business applications. Visual LANSA has
followed a twenty-year product evolution path that has proven its superiority
over other application development tools and methodologies. Today Visual LANSA is used by thousands of
developers, spread across different industries and countries around the world,
who are all in pursuit of the same objective: maximum productivity and
simplicity throughout the entire software development life cycle.
The fastest and most certain way to modernize your System i applications
RAMP is a complete process for rapidly modernizing legacy
software systems. Before the
advent of RAMP, users of System i, iSeries or AS/400 servers facing application modernization challenges were
forced to either throw it all away and start again or continue to build upon,
and be limited by, their legacy 5250 business systems. Now RAMP offers the perfect
balance between those two extremes. By providing an application development framework that
combines functionality from green-screen applications with new visual components
in a rich graphical user interface, RAMP addresses your immediate tactical needs
and sets you on a path of evolution without limits.
Flexible integration of business processes, systems, applications and data
LANSA Integrator,
is a versatile and extensible integration server that is used by programmers to
exchange data in any format or via any protocol
and can also be used to remotely call functions in other systems. LANSA
Integrator enables integration of Application-to-Application (A2A) and
Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions through XML and Java services. LANSA
Integrator allows bi-directional XML – and other data formats – to be exchanged
between you and your trading partners, regardless of platform. LANSA Integrator
appeals to developers with LANSA, RPG, COBOL or Java skills and is regarded as
the Swiss army knife of the integration world.
LANSA Composer is a Business Process Integration (BPI) tool
that gives business analysts a top-down view of end-to-end business processes. LANSA Composer provides
connectivity between different systems in the same way as LANSA Integrator, but
differs by including a graphical mapping tool and a process orchestration
engine. These additions make LANSA Composer a highly visual and code-free tool
that any business analyst or expert user can operate. The purpose of a BPI tool
like LANSA Composer is to automate manual processes and eliminate rekeying of
data by reducing the amount of paper, email, fax and human interaction required
to complete a given business process.
ERP extensions, middleware, reporting and eCommerce
Alongside these flagship offerings, LANSA has products in areas ancillary to the main LANSA platform like end-user reporting (LANSA Client) and middleware (LANSA Open for .NET). We have also created specific application products where we saw a market need for an out-of-the-box solution e.g. an open-source ERP package, an eCommerce store, an EDI gateway, an AS2 compliant secure communications server and a Product Information Management (PIM) solution for on-boarding to the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN).
LANSA your one-stop shop
The theme running throughout our suite is that all products are built on, and share the underlying services, of the LANSA platform. We, along with our vibrant business partner community, have broadened our value proposition beyond tools and technology into application solutions so that LANSA can be your one-stop-shop.
