Serve 3270 legacy host application screens as modern and user-friendly web pages

MODERN GUI FOR 3270 APPLICATIONS

 

VWM makes it simple and fast to serve legacy host applications (CICS, IMS, Natural, etc.) as modern GUI webpages. This creates a user-friendly web portal experience with:

  • Updated workflow: screen consolidation, tab navigation, and collapsible sections
  • Widget-assisted data entry: checkboxes, dropdown lists, and graphical calendars
  • New Ajax application features: suggest, auto-complete, PDF generation, and emailing

With VWM in place, users will think they are accessing a genuine web application, not a legacy mainframe application.

Because they rely on standard (HTML/JavaScript) web technology, VWM’s GUI pages will work instantly with any web-enabled device.

GROWTH

Replacing screen UIs with graphical UIs extends the relevance of – and investment in – legacy host applications.

It can help grow revenues by extending some products and services in self-service mode directly to business partners, customers, and consumers.

COST SAVINGS

Replacing the screen UI with a Graphical UI may enable transferring the responsibility and cost of driving the 3270 transactions from internal staff to business partners and customers through self-service access to products and services.

Virtel’s centralized installation, administration, and support result in significant savings across the board.

PRODUCTIVITY

Modern user-friendly web portals eliminate data entry errors through assisted data entry widgets.

They eliminate the toggle between screen and web user interfaces. They reduce the training requirements for new and temporary staff. They make it easier to attract new staff that would otherwise be turned off by outdated green screen interfaces.
