Modernize at your pace according to your needs and skill set
Rapidly convert entire green screen applications to the web with Presto, then further enhance those web-enabled screens at your pace, screen by screen or program by program. Presto provides much faster results than tools that web-enable one screen at a time. It's also a much smaller investment than re-writing or re-engineering your applications in a web development language.
Presto provides an easy transition to web development for RPG and COBOL programmers. Presto gives you the option to use it as a stepping stone to creating new web applications in CGI or PHP or as a long-term web-based solution. You can also combine Presto with BCD's other web development solutions to give you complete flexibility in choosing your modernization path.
