Building Business Resilience

Take advantage of modern technology

While RPG or COBOL may remain the engine room of your enterprise, proving their resilience and reliability through their years, as procedure and technology changes, some of this code may require maintenance or enhancement, new interfaces or integrations may be required, or the addition of web or mobile applications needed.

We can further engineer your enterprise, built upon, around or enhanced through proven methodology using robust open-source, and new technologies.

Green Screen Emulation

Delivering a web-based GUI for 5250 green screens

We can help you bring your existing 5250 green screen applications to the web by modernising existing RPG and COBOL applications to deliver a modern web-based GUI.

At the same time, our team of IBM i developers can customise your emulated screens to include advanced functionality.

Open Source for IBM i

Modernise IBM i applications with PHP

PHP is the most popular web language on the planet, and with our IBM i PHP team we can develop new functionality for your application, making your applications web-enabled, extending your applications on mobile and providing better integrations with modern APIs and open source.

We can even rewrite existing applications which can then be combined with your 5250 green screen functions to run in a single browser session with no tabbing, launching or navigating required.

Transforming and modernising application

For any organisation, of any size, access to modern, user-friendly applications is essential. Modernising an IBM i application so it is user-friendly, browser-based and mobile-enabled, can be a daunting prospect.

We can either deliver those modernisation projects on your behalf, or provide you with the GUI, web and mobile enablement tools you need to do the job yourself (with full training and ongoing support) through our partnership with Fresche Solutions.
