HiT Software augments Ritmo/i5 v4, its middleware bridge between the System i and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, with the ability to access DB2 data. Ritmo/i5 v4 integrates with Visual Studio 2005 Designer tools and Server Explorer so that users can develop forms or generate reports that include information from DB2 databases.
