What is EasyBuy Cycles?

EasyBuy Cycles is a fictitious company created by Surround Technologies for Accelerator demonstration and training purposes. The database and legacy RPG programs were pulled from a 1988 system and refactored to work standalone. The original client data was removed and replaced with test data extracted from the Microsoft Adventureworks database which is centered around a fictitious bicycle business.

The database very simple with 5 tables (physical files), associated IBM i RPG-based programs, and 5250 green-screen UI. It is an old system that provides a nice sample for how to use Accelerator to modernize a legacy system.
