NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Aug 27, 2013) -  Consist Software Solutions Inc., a leading provider of information technology applications, today announced the availability of ConsistADS, an advanced development platform standardized on IBM DB2^® that enables seamless migration of data and applications to modernized environments.
