MedUSA and Innovative Computer Expect New GUIs to Drive Sales
DENVER, CO (COMMON Conference & Expo, Booth #210, October 13, 2002) - ResQNet.com today announced that MedUSA and Innovative Computer Consultants have become the latest AS/400-based software vendors to add modern GUI interfaces to their respective programs with ResQNet, a host-to-GUI screen rejuvenation solution that performs on-the-fly facelifts and adds complete point-and-click functionality without the need for scripting, programming or changes to host applications.
Both vendors selected ResQNet over competitive products because of the fast plug-and-play conversion provided by ResQNet.com’s proprietary pattern detection and conversion technology. Both companies expect their screen modernization initiatives to generate increased sales by meeting end user demands for a familiar Windows-like environment.
MedUSA (www.medusabil.com) is using ResQNet to update the appearance of its AS/400-based Med Prime medical billing and practice management software. The company previously had made minor programming-based modifications to upgrade its old green screens but recently began encountering pressure from medical office staff to deliver a true Windows-style GUI.
“We tried to add a graphical look and feel with another product, but we discovered that we would need to recode every time our AS/400 programmers made a change to our software,” said Mike Siaperas, MedUSA co-founder. “ResQNet offers a more automated solution that removes that burden and has already enabled us to close a sale.”
Innovative Computer Consultants (www.eregister400.com) is using ResQNet to modernize its AS/400-based eRegister point-of-sale software for retail specialty stores. The new GUI will provide a better fit for customers’ sophisticated retail environments, including the ability to display PDF and JPEG images for clients such as jewelry stores.
“We’ve made huge investments in software development, but our interface still looks obsolete because it’s character-based and not user-friendly,” said Bob Jordan Sr., president of Innovative Computer. “With ResQNet, we will be able to bring our screens into the GUI era without making any modifications to our legacy software.”
ResQNet performs seamless green-screen-to-GUI rejuvenation via an “auto GUI” capability that dynamically recognizes and converts common legacy screen structures including menus, function buttons and subfile areas. Screens can also be quickly customized on a global basis or with a drag-and-drop Customization Studio that can be used to add graphics or make other modifications to individual screens.
These capabilities enable software engineers to complete conversions in hours or days - not the weeks or months usually required - and eliminate the risks of altering underlying code. End users access ResQNet-enabled applications over a standard browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator, eliminating the need to install the application software on client PCs.
ResQNet operates transparently in the background and also performs terminal emulation functions. Network traffic is not affected because all processing is done on the client PC once the end user has downloaded the client applet. ResQNet is sold as a complete package that includes the Customization Studio, the server component, training and installation. For more information, visit http://www.resqnet.com or demo@resqnet.com.
