Is moving completely away from green screens and going to the web achievable or even necessary? Join industry expert, Bob Cozzi, who will answer that question and will also provide answers to these questions:

  • Are green screens the main reason for loss of market share for IBM i?
  • What should your development path be for new applications?
  • What should you do about existing green screen applications?
  • What skills do you need to transition to web development?

In the second half of this webcast Duncan Kenzie, CTO of BCD, will show you how you can move away from green screens by instantly giving all your 5250 screens a web GUI with Presto.

You'll see how Presto helps you:

  • Further enhance screens with the Presto Visual Editor.
  • Add new functionality with Web 2.0 technologies like Ajax and jQuery.
  • Integrate your web enabled applications with your other web applications, PDFs and images.
