HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LANSA, (a division of Idera, Inc.), a provider of low-code application development platform tools, today announced a major update to its aXes platform that helps developers modernize IBM i applications faster without changing a single line of code.
aXes automatically transforms 5250 applications into browser-based applications and includes tools to customize and modernize the design and layout of the user interface. The latest release of aXes 4.2.0 includes a new and improved HTTP web server for faster performance, as well as numerous design and security enhancements that allow IBM i customers to more easily web-enable their existing applications.
Since aXes is a major component in LANSA’s Rapid Application Modernization Process (RAMP), version 4.2.0 further enhances how IBM i companies can refactor 5250 applications into a graphical application framework and build multi-experience applications spanning mobile, web, and desktop.
