Case Study: Guardian General modernizes IBM i applications with Profound Logic

Solutions, Inc. Finds the Answer to their Green Screen Problems

GMD Solutions, a long-time IBM i user, needed to modernize its aging 5250 green-screen applications while preserving the reliability of its core system. The outdated interface made it harder to train new employees, recruit RPG developers, and support remote access, so the company looked to Profound Logic for a more modern approach.

Profound Logic implemented a phased modernization using Genie to quickly web-enable applications, then Profound UI to move beyond 5250 and deliver modern browser-based tools. The result was a successful rollout of a web-based system with improved usability, centralized navigation, and richer screens, while cutting new-employee training time by at least 20% and making technical recruiting easier.
