How would you like to enable your IBM AS/400 or Mainframe Host applications on a web browser?

You will be able to do all that without having to sacrifice the security and performance of your host IBM AS/400 or Mainframe systems that they are known for. You will also be able protect the substantial investment of the secure host systems without having to re-build the entire system on a new platform.

Why Transformation?

There are many reasons your organization need to transform the IBM AS/400 or Mainframe application system into a familiar web interface:

• Training new users on IBM AS/400 or Mainframe applications costs time and money. Today´s workforce often does not have the time or inclination to learn to navigate complex systems using green-screens
• Your organization and the management want a familiar interface to view reports anytime - anywhere. However, with the limitation of the green-screens, they will not be able to access the reports directly. Someone must prepare the reports off-line before they can be presented
• Integration of your IBM AS/400 or Mainframe applications with other application systems running on other other platforms (such as Windows) is a necessary architecture which increases users´ efficiency without having to key-in multiple data into multiple sytems
• Rejuvenate your AS/400 or Mainframe applications, allowing your organization to continue to benefit from its substantial investment in the systems for years to come

By transforming your green-screen into a web interface, the menus are now displayed as hot links and the function keys are buttons

System Transformation: Roadmap to IT Modernization

The technology does not just stop to transform your host application into web interface. The technology allows you to extend part of your host IBM AS/400 or Mainframe application into several key technology areas:

Portal Application IBM WebSphere Portal provides a personalized, single point of access to enterprise information. Your new web applications run directly in the WebSphere Portal environment and take advantage of integration with other functionalities in the portal

Web-Services The transformation of the web interface may be extended to create standard Web-services interfaces to provide access to host applications. Web-Services help you lower the cost to maintain and deploy connectors to the host systems

Service-Oriented Architecture With the new initiative for application integration, Web-Services play a major role in assembling / orchestrating a new application system, based on your existing business process running in the host systems.
