What is Host Application Modernization?
-
It normally applies to software that has a non-graphical user input screen. These are usually two colour e.g. green letters and numbers on a black background sometimes called a green-screen, Terminal or VDU.
-
These applications are rich in functionality and have been highly-tuned to work with individual businesses. However, they can be difficult to learn and use, look old and often run on outdated or expensive hardware.
-
Modernization offers many benefits. Some of these may include replacing the user input screen with a web page or connect the application to other programs to allow the sharing of data. Alternatively, you could even migrate the application from the old (legacy) systems to run on new Hardware.
What can Host Application Modernization do for me?
There are many reasons that you may wish to modernize your host applications. Below are just a few examples of modernization where Flynet Viewer products have been used.
-
Improve the user data input screens, helping eliminate human error, and increase the speed and transfer of correct information e.g. Inbev, Telewest, Volvo
-
Connect handheld computers over a wireless network to the back office host application holding price information on retail goods. This has allowed shop floor workers to print shelf edge labels and price tickets e.g. Tesco Stores Group Limited.
-
Connect legacy applications and databases to Digital Dashboards e.g. DHL, 20TH Century Fox, Connexions. WorldTravelInc, Alcan.
