If you are looking at options for developing, modernising or mobilising your IBM i environment, BCD Software and Quadrant Software (now Fresche Solutions) have a number of webinars that will be of interest to you.
On 16th October, BCD Software is hosting a webinar entitled ‘Mobilizing Your IBM i: Deliver First-Rate Mobile Applications Quickly’. This webinar will focus on BCD’s Presto and WebSmart tools and how they can be used by RPG programmers to quickly and easily leverage their existing code to create optimised mobile applications. BCD will also argue that HTML5 is the best approach for mobile application development.
There are also two on-demand webinars available to view. ‘User-Friendly Business Intelligence for IBM i with Business i™’ was recently produced by Quadrant Software and looks at the Business i, the IBM i business intelligence (BI) suite of tools.
Business i aims to reduce the burden on your organisation’s IT department, providing you with the business data you require from your IBM i server, enabling you to view and analyse key business performance metrics quickly and easily.
The webinar will show how users can:
- Create spreadsheets and real-time web-based reports quickly
- Use Business i to analyse key performance metrics from virtually any data source
- Use BI dashboards to graphically represent data
- Find reports in a secure menu-driven portal
‘See how a non-programmer gave his green screens a web GUI’ provides a case study example of a how Evange Destounis, CEO (and a non-programmer) of TMISI, a wholesale distributor based in Canada used Presto in an IBM i green screen to web project. Not only did the web GUI look better, but the application also enabled faster data entry, intuitive navigation and better layouts.
In part two of this webinar, Marcel Sarrasin, Director of Marketing for BCD and Quadrant, demonstrates a refacing and OA approach to giving green screens and new RPG programs a modern web GUI.
