As a result, OnWeb® becomes a powerful and flexible platform to quickly deploy new, robust, and scalable business integration solutions, streamlining business operations and decreasing operating costs.

How is OnWeb® used today?

Turning green screens into Web applications in minutes.

Applications like self service kiosks are created with little coding effort and with ZERO change to the core infrastructure. OnWeb® instantly converts 3270 and 5250 screen-based applications into Web-based HTML pages. OnWeb®, using a simple wizard, converts existing core screens into point-and-click, graphical Web-based applications.

Offshore and remote employee access to core applications.

Hundreds of companies have taken advantage of remote employees for either at-home telecommuting or for offshore cost savings. OnWeb® enables these employees to have the same user experience they would have at the office while using only the desktop's browser.

Desktop emulation replacement.

While the benefits of a rich graphical environment are evident, for some users, the look and feel of green screen needs to remain. OnWeb® is the only platform of it's kind to offer features like keyboard buffering, AJAX based updates, and core printing that replicate the emulation user experience without the need for a desktop based emulator.

Integration with new packaged applications.

A large number of organizations have stopped using core applications on a day-to-day basis but still need to have access to historical data or transactional data on a core system. OnWeb® encapsulates any core transaction for use in Web services or other integration components that can be accessed by other applications.
