Your Problem

IBM i applications - AS / 400 was not designed to communicate with web applications. Result: disconnected websites IBM Information System i RPG business logic to be redeveloped into a new language, synchronization of tape, less reliability, flexibility and adaptability of the IS to business developments.

Your Needs

  • Allow access to your website in real-time application intelligence RPG (stock price)
  • Communicate in real time applications like CRM devices and IBM i applications
  • Allow your RPG / COBOL applications to consume Web services (google map, directories, scoring)
