Renew and Web Enable your Valuable Host Applications

Crystal Point’s AppViewXS™ solution enables you to immediately web-enable your legacy application, and then seamlessly and incrementally transition to a replacement (web-tiered) application as it is created.

Unlike AppView, AppViewXS resides in the web server, and integrates enterprise applications before they reach the client. AppViewXS enables converting host based data into web formats without requiring programming. It is an excellent solution for creating portals into your enterprise information and to facilitate migrating legacy systems. With AppViewXS there is no hard cutover step. The migration process from legacy to the new application is entirely transparent.

Since all that is required at the end-user's workstation is a compatible browser, applet download times and Java compatibility issues are eliminated. 

The server-based architecture of AppViewXS allows any data source accessible by the server to be integrated into the user interface.

AppViewXS' customization tools easily encapsulate and publish host application functions as web services.  The valuable data and business logic embedded in your host applications can now be easily made available to other enterprise systems.

AppViewXS is a 100% Java application that takes full advantage of the security capabilities and platform flexibility of modern web implementations. AppViewXS executes on web/application servers, translating Tandem 6530, TN3270 or TN5250 terminal data streams to HTML. The AppViewXS Studio Tool enables reengineering legacy application user interfaces by adding new functionality, integrating virtually any data source, and optimizing application flow.

You can extend secure host access to a users' browser via a modern, graphical user interface that is far more intuitive than legacy “green-screens” and includes all the data sources necessary for a specific business need without creating an extra middleware application.

Take It To The Web – quickly and easily!

• NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED – The AppViewXS drag-and-drop Studio environment makes costly software development projects unnecessary. 
• AppViewXS automatically transforms host screens into user friendly Web-based screens.
• Smart Screen technology in AppViewXS converts the data stream from your host into objects that are easily customized to meet your changing business requirements.

Save Costly Development Time

• Save time, money and hassle when you renew your core business applications for the Web automatically - without rewriting any legacy code!
• An experienced business user can build the screens your application requires in hours instead of waiting days for more costly and cumbersome in-house development efforts or outside consultants.

Increase End User Productivity

• Give users what they want, the way they want it, with secured anytime/anywhere access via the Web.
• Dramatically increase productivity by replacing tedious “green screens” with simpler, familiar, Web-based user interfaces that include built-in help.
• Extend the life of host applications with drop down menus, dialog boxes, buttons, on-screen help, and other familiar browser functions.

Add Powerful New Functionality

• Add new value to mission-critical host data by simplifying complex data entry routines requiring access to multiple host screens and sessions.
• Access any data sources available from the desktop (e.g. SQL queries; HTML and XML pages; server processes; Websphere MQ™).

Integrate Applications

• Integrate information from multiple screens and hosts to provide “one-stop-shopping.”
• Build new, client-based applications incorporating host functionality.
• AppViewXS can tightly integrate Legacy applications with Java applications via its Struts Framework.
  • Add Java functionality to the legacy application.
  • Blend java modules with legacy modules
  • Facilitate an incremental migration of a legacy application to a Java environment.
