old IBM i green screen applications a
modern new face within minutes.

were all web enabled with Presto. It required no
manual intervention to modernize our screens! Kudos
and thank you for a great product. We are now productively
using BCD’s Presto, Nexus and Catapult modernization
tools."
— Chris Keebler, IT Manager
Gladwin Paint Company
"People want results. I can’t tell
you how many web enablement modernization tools we’ve
tried. The list was long and we had nothing to show
for our efforts. After 8 years and hundreds of thousands
of dollars spent trying to modernize our product’s
user interface, I became very skeptical. Then I found
BCD’s Presto and love the way it works and the capabilities
it offers. In short, Presto is the answer we were
looking for!"
— K. Harrison, President
King III Solutions, Inc.
"The time and money it would take
to accomplish what Presto allowed us to do in-house,
is hardly fathomable….
It allows you to enhance just about anything you
can dream up…. Both options are possible with Presto.
That's the beauty of it... Flexibility!"
— Felicia Krubl, PA
National Van Lines, Inc.
