LANSA Helps i OS and .NET Apps Meet at Database Level
by Dan Burger

Sometimes costs, servers, databases, platforms, and interfaces drive the decision.

Profound Logic Aims to Simplify Menu Navigation with Atrium
by Alex Woodie

One of the drawbacks of 5250 applications is the menu layout that users must learn to navigate. To accomplish certain tasks, such as checking on the status of a customer order, a user may have to drill through a dozen screens. System i application modernization vendor Profound Logic is hoping to simplify this maze of menus with Atrium, a new Web portal unveiled at last week's COMMON conference that gives users one-click access to specific screens.
