IpServer
Business Challenge
What do you do when screen scraping just isn’t enough for your application? Taking the time to create a 3270 screen just to screen scrape is a waste of time. Programmer friendly CICS CGI Web development environments will allow you to be free of 3270 and its inherent constraints. Through this process the user finds promising value by improving productivity when creating CICS-powered Web applications and XML Web Services.
