Legacy to Modern in Minutes: A New Era for IBM i Application

About the Webinar

IBM i 5250 terminals played a critical role in meeting the business demands of an earlier era, but today, they limit the agility needed to stay competitive in today’s modern digital landscape. Built on monolithic architectures and tightly coupled with complex, multigenerational code structures, modernizing these text-heavy, command-line-style screens without the right plan, people, and processes can introduce significant risks. These include unplanned downtime, temporary operational outages, security vulnerabilities, loss of valuable business logic, and increased costs.

In this webinar, 2024 IBM Champion Mike Pavlak will help you navigate these challenges. He will provide an in-depth overview of the challenges associated with 5250 green screens and explain why transformation is essential. Additionally, he will deliver a live demonstration of our no-code modernization solution that converts traditional green screens into responsive web and mobile interfaces, without affecting the underlying RPG code or security framework, ensuring a faster, smarter transformation journey.
