Snap-on App.. is the ability to snap-on to any Database, Display file or ERP solution on IBM i™.. to create, extend or alter any workflow or business process.. into a web based application optimized for desktop, tablet or mobile browsing.. with a minimum of programming skills and development time.

How is that possible? Snap-on any Database to add and integrate new fields to existing file to establish real-time synchronization on field level between new and existing files to create new files and setup database relations to simplify complex database relations in customized views to predefine format and validation per field to automatically create and maintain new web applications

How is that possible? Snap-on any Display File to web enable any interactive 5250 program to combine multiple displays and programs in a single screen to create web services based upon 5250 programs to access and use additional data from other information providers to restructure and customize existing workflows

How is that possible? Snap on any ERP Solution to reuse existing business logic in RPG and COBOL to create new web applications in native programming languages to establish a closer Windows integration to consolidate with data from different platforms to reuse skills and platform knowledge

How is that possible? Snap on any level which make most sense database API / command program calls 5250 – script or not

Seeing – is believing
