What you can do with Presto
Presto is the fastest way to give your IBM i Green Screens and new RPG programs a modern web GUI using the 5250 data stream, APIs or RPG Open Access. It also gives you endless possibilities to add new features.
Modern web GUI
Keep your IBM i relevant in the eyes of end users and management by adding a web GUI to your existing green screens and new RPG programmes.
New functionalities
Increase your productivity by adding drop-down fields, tabs, date pickers, images, charts and more to your web-enabled screens.
Mobile access
Access all your modernised IBM I Green screens internally or remotely via iPads, iPhones and other tablets and smartphones.
A look at Presto
Quickly convert entire green screen applications to the web with Presto and then expand these web-enabled screens at your pace, screen by screen or programme by programme. Presto offers much faster results than tools that web-enable one screen at a time. It's also a much smaller investment than rewriting or redeveloping 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 starting point for building 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 maximise flexibility in choosing your modernisation path.
How Presto can help you:

Use existing applications to meet current business needs while providing the flexibility to leverage future technologies, such as AI.

Your existing green screens are instantly accessible as modern web pages without the need for source code changes.
