Evolution of the User Experience

and How To Use the Latest .NET Technologies

to Enhance the IBM i

 
 

Presented by Lee Paul, Surround Technologies

 

Tuesday, November 16, 2010, Noon to 1:00 pm

 

There will be some special AMCU Holiday door prizes:
$25 and $50 gift certificates


We had a large, positive response from members on our last meeting that presented information on one form of modernization of iSeries and RPG screens.  This is an important area of interest because so many of our member companies want to move to a much more 'Internet' and 'GUI' screen experience for the iSeries users.  Company management usually asks the technical staff (i.e. 'us') to provide them information on the options and approach to moving the software to that new level.
 
The presenter for our next meeting is Lee Paul, CEO of Surround Technologies.  He will cover additional options for upgrading the RPG screens to a completely seamless browser experience for our users.  These approaches can be used to chart and present a modernization plan.
 
He will provide answers to questions such as.... How should a modern application look? What will applications look like next year? What skills do you need to deliver on today's needs and tomorrow's expectations?  
 
Surround Technologies will be showing examples of agile visual frameworks for multi-functional user interfaces, visualizations, searching, mobile devices, and how to address the broad spectrum of user experiences. He will be showing the most recent .NET technologies integrated with the IBM i, including:
 
- A B2B partner portal using Silverlight that communicates to ERP systems running on IBM i.
 
- A cloud based UI developed in Windows Presentation Foundation that is being used by a major IBM i software vendor as a next generation SAAS application.
 
- A graphical Map and Mobile application in use by a major retailer to dramatically decrease the number of steps needed to complete transactions.

 

The cost is $20 per person for AMCU memebers, and $30 per person for non-members.  The cost includes coffee and lunch. 

 

This is not a member's only event.  All are welcome to attend.  Please bring friends and colleagues.
