Many organisations rely on the ever dependable IBM i to run critical business applications such as ERPs (for instance Infor LX and BPCS or DELMIAWORKS), asset and inventory management and order management, fulfilment and supply chain.
For many of these same organisations, they are still accessing some or all of their IBM i applications through text-based 5250 terminals or terminal emulators. Although the majority of users in the IBM i community recognise that the platform is a rock-solid, modern enterprise platform, its green-screen interface can limit productivity while many users, managers and even IT staff sadly perceive the IBM i as outdated solely because of those green screens.
If you find yourself in that situation, why not join BCD Software (Fresche Solutions)for the webinar: ‘Making the business case for IBM i green screen modernisation’ to learn why giving your green screens a web GUI maximises your investment in IBM i.
During the webinar, BCD Software will discuss:
- The top business reasons for IBM i green screen modernisation
- Adding value above and beyond a “pretty” interface for your business applications
- Successful real-world modernisation case studies
During the webinar, you will have an opportunity to see how BCD Software’s Presto tool can rapidly give your 5250 green screens a web-based GUI at the same time as giving you the flexibility to add new functionality to your IBM i applications such as images, dropdowns and tabs.
