Modernize Dated Green Screen Programs with BCD's Presto

You have a lot invested in your IBM i and in your green screen programs. Use Presto to extract even more value from them.

Satisfy users with an instant Web GUI

Presto instantly transforms all your RPG and COBOL programs and IBM i screens into modern looking web pages that are more accepted by users. You save time by not having to make any changes to your RPG, COBOL or DDS code. Your web enabled screens are accessed via a browser which makes them easier for your users, clients and management to access and use. It's also easier for you to deploy as there is NO PC software to install to make Presto work.

Extend the functionality of your 5250 programs

You can then further increase user productivity and add new modern functionality to your applications by customizing your web-enabled screens. With the Presto Visual Editor and by having full access to the HTML code you can have more intuitive navigation and better data entry with features such as clickable links and drop down lists.

The possibilities are endless

You can also add JavaScript including jQuery or ExtJS to make your screens even more sophisticated. Using AJAX and SOA technology you can call other web programs including WebSmart PHP and ILE programs to incorporate new data or features into your application. For example, a dropdown box of available shipping rates to a zip code by loading the information from a SOA interface to an external web server such as UPS, or adding file upload, email and xls capabilities.

Start getting more out of your IBM i investment today!
