Application Modernization Strategies: From Web Enablement to New Application Development

Application Modernization Strategies: From Web Enablement to New Application Development

Webcast recording available


There are many modernization options available to IBM i users these days. So many in fact that it is hardly surprising that some shops have become frozen like deer in the headlights - unable to move for fear of making a wrong decision. In Jon's opinion there is only one bad decision - to do nothing. There is no silver bullet - and the likelihood is that there never will be. The simple fact is that not everyone needs to redo all of their existing applications. Sometimes simply web enabling some of your RPG or COBOL applications makes the most sense for your business, and that is important in a time where budgets and time are scarce commodities.

In this FREE, one-hour webcast Jon will discuss the many different ways in which you can move your applications forward. Topics to be covered include:

  • New uses for old code (web services, stored procedures, office integration and more)
  • Options for creating new web applications (RPG CGI, Java, PHP, etc.)
  • Options for providing a browser-based interface to existing green screen applications (re-engineering, refacing, etc.)
