ASNA

What ASNA does

ASNA is a privately held enterprise software company, founded in 1982 and headquartered in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Spain with US operations in San Antonio, Texas, specializing in the migration and modernization of IBM i RPG applications to the Microsoft .NET platform. The company's core product, ASNA Monarch, is an enterprise migration suite that translates RPG III, ILE RPG IV, and Synon/CA 2E applications into C# or ASNA Encore RPG, optionally converting IBM i DB2 databases to Microsoft SQL Server, with a proprietary Execution-Time Framework that replicates IBM i runtime idioms (QTEMP, activation groups, program call, spooling, record-level access, DB2 file members). Supporting products — ASNA Wings (web UI modernization), ASNA Visual RPG (RPG compiler/IDE for .NET), ASNA DataGate (database connectivity), ASNA Synon Escape (Synon migration), ASNA Mobile RPG, and Browser Terminal — form an integrated tooling portfolio aimed at enterprises facing the RPG programmer retirement crisis.

ASNA generates revenue through three streams: software licenses (Monarch, Visual RPG, DataGate, Wings, Synon Escape), professional services delivered by its Enterprise Migration Team, and recurring maintenance and support subscriptions. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (with regional managers covering the Americas, Asia, UK, and Ireland) and a worldwide distributor/reseller network spanning more than 15 countries across the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa. Named enterprise customers span aerospace, retail, insurance, manufacturing, marine logistics, construction, and field services — typical engagements involve multi-million-line codebases (e.g., 2.5M LOC at Vitec Nice, 1M+ LOC at StandardAero) and 12-18 month migration timelines. The company has remained founder/management-controlled with no disclosed external institutional investment.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• LANSA: Direct peer providing low-code modernization and IBM i application development tools. Competes with ASNA Visual RPG and Monarch for the same RPG modernization wallet, with overlapping target verticals (manufacturing, distribution, retail).
• Profound Logic Software: Direct peer in IBM i RPG web modernization and mobile enablement. Competes head-to-head with ASNA Wings and Visual RPG, offering RPGsp and Profound UI for green-screen-to-web conversion targeting the same IBM i customer base.
• Fresche Solutions: Direct peer offering IBM i application modernization, legacy code analysis, and migration services (formerly Manta Tools/ArdGate). Competes with ASNA Monarch and ASNA Services for RPG-to-modern-platform migrations.
• mrc (m-Power / Big Blue): Direct peer providing IBM i web application development and modernization tooling (m-Power). Targets RPG shops looking to modernize to web, overlapping with ASNA Wings and Visual RPG offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Rocket Software: Broad incumbent with a large portfolio of IBM i and mainframe modernization tools, including acquired legacy brands. Serves the same IBM i customer base with overlapping modernization capabilities, but as part of a much wider infrastructure software portfolio.
• IBM: Broad incumbent owning the IBM i platform and Rational modernization tooling, plus emerging AI-assisted RPG modernization (watsonx Code Assistant for i). Could materially compete with ASNA Monarch if IBM deepens automation in this niche.
• Precisely: Broad incumbent in data integrity and mainframe/IBM i modernization (formerly Syncsort). Adjacent to ASNA's migration and DB2-to-SQL Server tooling, with overlap in enterprise IBM i accounts.
