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.
