Forte / UDS - Why Migrate from Forte/UDS?
Sun Microsystems started phasing out Forte/UDS in September 2006 and has announced the complete end-of-support by April 2009. For companies seeking to minimize risk, this created a strong impetus either to retire or migrate critical application written in Forte/UDS.

The following are several reasons industry leaders have decided on Forte migration to either .Net or Java/J2EE:

Phase-out of the Forte/UDS platform

Increased licensing and support cost

Lack of new features

Limited support for new technologies

Incompatibility with newer versions of OS or DBMS

Inability to market products written in outdated platform

Difficulty to staff project due to lack of resources
Ability to converge to a enterprise standard platform
Wide variety of choice for products in Java and .NET
Ability to leverage open source software
