Transoft announces
automatic browser interface for U/BL and FlexGen users
March
27 2006 - Transoft, a leader in helping companies
evolve new IT solutions from their existing applications,
announced two new products for its
U/BL
and
FlexGen
customers. UBi - U/BL Browser Interface, and FBi -FlexGen
Browser Interface, enable users to immediately make use of a
browser interface, without having to re-develop their
applications.
Both
U/BL and FlexGen have provided a GUI look and feel for many
years, but with the release of UBi and FBi, existing systems
can now automatically be presented through a browser
interface. A browser interface provides ‘thin client’
deployment options, with no software installed on the user’s
client-side PC. This reduces hardware costs and software
administration costs, and provides new deployment options for
existing applications.
Paul
Holland, Transoft’s chief executive officer commented, ”we’re
extremely excited about the new capabilities we are providing
to our U/BL and FlexGen customers. By enabling a browser
interface our customers can instantly modernize their
applications with a browser look and feel.”
The
UBi and FBi products allow the application to continue to run
with a character interface or a GUI interface, using the
Transoft U/Gi product for U/BL and FronTier product for
FlexGen. Therefore customers can create hybrid applications
providing different interfaces for different users.
Holland
continued, “The amazing thing about UBi and FBi is that
they do not require any additional development or integration
with the target application. You simply install and go. It’s
completely automatic. Using these products an existing U/BL or
FlexGen application could be running through a browser
interface in minutes!”
UBi
supports all of the U/BL graphical extensions and
automatically converts them into dynamic HTML browser
controls, such as drop down boxes and radio buttons. FBi does
the same for the FlexGen GUI and Active X controls. This
ensures that every aspect of the existing application is
automatically converted to be compatible with the new browser
interface.
Transoft
expects to start shipping UBi and FBi in early May 2006.
