AS400 GUI modernization involves updating the graphical user interface (GUI) of IBM AS/400 (now IBM i) applications to align with contemporary design standards and user expectations. This process typically includes enhancing the visual appeal, usability, and functionality of legacy AS400 applications by implementing modern UI elements, improving navigation, and optimizing user workflows. The goal is to enhance user experience, productivity, and the overall competitiveness of AS400-based systems in today's digital landscape.
Get past these challenges that you face in everyday workflows.
Workflows are stuck in silos & often require manual intervention.
Users have a limited degree of freedom with the default AS400/iSeries features.
The productivity of the in-house IT team dips, slowing the overall pace of the organization.
Working on green screens can bring down the happiness quotient by leaps & bounds.

RPG Open Access allows programmers to access modern technologies within the existing RPG code by specifying programs that connect the modern tech to the RPG architecture. Open access (handler procedure) calls the existing program to complete I/O ops using tools.
Developed by IBM
Get data from RPG
Uses existing RPG skillset
Bypasses 5250 data streams
This approach is focused to elevate the usability and flexibility of AS400 systems from the users’ perspective without tinkering with the underlying code.
