Business benefits of using ASNA Wings

Rapid Results

ASNA Wings does not require a lot of analysis and business logic migration. Only the presentation layer is changed so all back-end logic and DB access remains intact. With Wings you select the highest payoff screens to modernize first. Any screen you don’t initially modernize will be presented with Wings’ built-in 5250 emulator.

Industry Standard User Interface Construction

Wings creates standard ASP.NET ASPX pages for its user interface. You can use Microsoft’s Visual Studio with VB.NET, C#, or ASNA Visual RPG for .NET to further extend and enhance the user experience. There are no proprietary UI widgets, tools, or scripting languages to learn like there are with screen scrapers or other competing products. The Wings solution is based on industry standards.

Further Application Migration Opportunities

Wings is a member of the ASNA Monarch® migration suite. You can use Wings very quickly and easily to modernize RPG user experiences. However, at a later stage, you might like the option of fully migrating those applications off of the IBM i. With Wings, you can later call on Monarch to do a full-featured RPG migration of your application to .NET (which reuses the same screens you’ve transformed with Wings). Once migrated with Monarch, your apps can connect to either the IBM i or MS SQL Server (with minimal RPG changes) and you can further extend and enhance these apps using the world-class Microsoft Visual Studio environment.

Build Other New Apps Around Your Wings UI

Because the Wings UI is simply ASP.NET Web pages, you can easily use VB.NET, C# or ASNA Visual RPG for .NET to build new apps around the application foundation that your newly-modernized Wings applications provide. 

Wings offers unparalleled possibilities to extract additional life and value out of your
IBM i RPG application portfolio.
