An increasing number of RPG shops may benefit from on-demand "RPG as a Service." 

A new service designed for companies that don't always have an RPG programmer available, or that need quick, cost-effective programming results, is now available from vLegaci through RPGAAS, which stands for "RPG as a Service." vLegaci, which is both an outsourcing firm and independent software vendor, is now offering on-demand programming services for RPG applications. Styled after the SaaS (Software as a Service) model, and leveraging the company's program comprehension tool, Codelyzer, RPGAAS is a way for companies with limited RPG resources to obtain quick and efficient maintenance for their business systems.

RPGAAS is part of vLegaci's formula for helping companies extend the life of their legacy systems and realize maximum value from them, according to Steve Kilner, president of vLegaci. "Consensus is emerging from IT thought leaders, such as Gartner Group and Capers Jones, that maintaining and modernizing legacy systems gives the best possible return on IT dollars," says Kilner. "For businesses with legacy RPG systems, the dwindling pool of RPG programmers poses the challenge of how to get unfamiliar programmers up to speed rapidly on complicated legacy code," says Kilner. "vLegaci addresses this through the use of its innovative program comprehension tool, Codelyzer. This static and dynamic analysis tool enables new programmers to quickly assess unfamiliar RPG programs, thereby enabling the concept of a service such as RPGAAS."
