Think Twice About Migrating From Sterling Commerce's
Gentran:Server to Gentran Integration Suite
Benoit J. Lheureux
Here is the summary. The full report can be bought from Gartner
Ever since Sterling Commerce released Gentran Integration Suite (GIS),
many of the
company's Gentran:Server (GS) customers have struggled to understand the
relationship between these products, and whether GS applications can or
should be
ported to GIS. Because the port sometimes requires extensive development
work, GS
customers should understand their GS application migration options; if
they choose to
port, then they must set proper expectations for the effort required.
Key Findings
Sterling Commerce's explanation about the relationship of GIS to GS
is, at best,
complicated.
GIS isn't a direct, functional upgrade product for GS.
For many GS customers, there may be no good reason to port their
electronic data
interchange (EDI) applications to GIS.
When the GS-to-GIS porting effort is substantial, it creates an
opportunity for
competitors to bid alternative products to GIS.
Recommendations
GS customers should carefully consider all options prior to making a
GS-to-GIS
migration decision.
GS customers that want to migrate their EDI applications to the
current GIS release
should ask Sterling Commerce for a detailed "gap analysis" of the
porting effort, based
on their GS version.
