You shouldn't jump to conclusions. Perhaps Ali's network is already using
APPN. Certainly it's one of those relevant factors you ask about.

Jalili,
'Minimum change in configuration' will be difficult.
How about Enterprise Extender? ( SNA through TCP/IP )
You would have to change your hosts from subarea to APPN.
How are the branch-offices currently connected?
Using DLSW?
More information is needed about the current network configuration.
Be aware it will not be an easy process and lots of testing is needed.
