DataDirect ClientBuilder
Enhanced IDMS Integration with Heterogeneous Platforms
DataDirect ClientBuilder is a comprehensive integration solution for web-enabling 3270 and 5250 screen-based applications – a critical need for organizations migrating to service-oriented architectures.
ClientBuilder offers a diverse set of products ranging from simple emulation tools to high-performance conversion engines, capable of transforming proven legacy logic into ready-to-use thick-client Windows graphical interfaces as well as thin-client HTML and Java graphical interfaces.
With a development platform and runtime environment for legacy extension, ClientBuilder enables rapid, efficient development of graphical applications by allowing enterprise developers to leverage existing legacy programs and transactions.
While providing HTML transformation, ClientBuilder gives developers the powerful capability to fuse many-to-one and one-to-many transactions on the back end, replacing the rigid, fixed granularity of mainframe screen-based applications with a streamlined Web-oriented or thick-client application.
Maximize Mainframe Investments
ClientBuilder allows organizations to maximize existing investments in legacy computing while deploying modern graphical interfaces to the enterprise and beyond. This effective reuse provides a technological cushion, ensuring a smooth architectural transition and enabling the enterprise to move forward to a Service-Oriented Architecture at a measured, surefooted pace.
