Take the design and layout of your application screens to the next level of user interface modernization – without changing a line of the underlying source code.

Improve the UI and streamline your business processes

Using the aXes development studio, each IBM i, (System i, iSeries or AS/400) 5250 screen panel can be converted into a modern web user interface. aXes allows you to enhance the appearance of the application and streamline your business processes - adding real value to your applications.

Improve user productivity
