Support for IBM AS400 Applications
Baydon Solutions today launched an updated version (4.2.32) of the Assistware Connector Toolkit incorporating the Assistware Connector, Assistware Bubble and Assistware Server components.
 
The most significant element of the new release is the addition of support for older applications being run on AS400 and Mainframe systems via PC Emulators . This new capability will allow Assistware customers to retrofit the same ‘just in time’ , ‘workflow based’ and ‘Performance Support’ capability to legacy applications as currently offered to the full spectrum of Windows and Web based technologies.
 
“A high proportion of our Assistware Fortune 500 customers still rely heavily on the use of legacy applications accessed via PC Emulators” says William Cirillo - CTO of Baydon Solutions. "The ability to retrofit modern support and training materials to these applications without changing them will improve their productivity and rejuvenate their use. This protects our customers' investment in these systems while offering an Assistware self help capability to users, consistent with and equivalent to that available on their newer IT applications."
 

Version 4.2.32 provides support for IBM’s Client Access Express from IBM, Rumba from Netmanage and WRQ Reflection from WRQ and Attachmate. Support for other emulators will be added in response to customer demand.
