26/01/2006 PRESS RELEASE KONKAN RAILWAY INTRODUCES REVOLUTIONARY WONDER SOFTWARE TRANSLATOR Enables access to all its IT modules on Net Browser Proving yet again its innovative spirit, Konkan Railway, together with Amrita Technologies, has introduced and implemented a revolutionary software code translator that can translate smoothly and efficiently, all old Informix 4GL based software programs into Java based programs. The implication of this path-breaking software is far-reaching, which can enable all Companies big and small all over the world to switch from the out dated 4GL based code, that is no longer supported by any software company, to Java based code that are cross-platform, easy to maintain and accessible on web-browser. Using this wonder software, Konkan Railway has converted all its 19 IT modules, under Railway Applications Package (RAP), that take care of all the day to day activities of Konkan Railway, into Java which will enable KRCL employees to access any of its railway related module from Internet, anywhere in the world. The new system will be eventually linked to the Internet and can be accessed from anywhere, thus expanding the scope of office operations far beyond the office confines. The newly translated RAP is called J-RAP (Java based RAP) and has also incorporated the look, aesthetics, and user friendliness as seen in any GUI (Graphic User Interface) program screens. The J-RAP was inaugurated today on the Republic Day, by MD of KRCL, Dr K K Gokhale at Navi Mumbai. Developed jointly with Kerala based Amrita Technologies, the software has tremendous commercial potential and will earn royalty to KRCL, if exploited commercially. The entire IT team from KRCL, in coordination with project team from Amrita Technologies, have ensured smooth implementation of this project. -- Need a *Gmail* e-mail ID? Do write to me.
