Terminal Emulation
Despite popular belief, majority of the corporate business applications and mission critical data still reside on IBM mainframes, AS400 midrange servers and VT hosts. Terminal Emulation is the simplest, most cost-effective way to access applications and data running on these hosts. It is the dominant application for data collection solutions using barcode or RFID enabled handheld terminals.
If you are faced with a requirement to extend your business applications residing on mainframe systems to your mobile handheld terminals, consider our terminal emulation products as these are specifically designed for rugged Windows CE terminals. Our Terminal Emulation products not only offer a rich feature set for customizing and automating your business tasks, but also a strong value position to future-proof your technology investment.
A terminal emulation solution makes sense because:
- With a TE application running on the device, no changes are required to the existing host applications. This allows users to upgrade to newer enhanced Windows CE terminals, without any investment or changes required to the backend host application or retraining your work force.
- With a TE application running on mobile terminals, your users see the same familiar host application screens. This allows you to maintain productivity without having to re-train your workers.
- A TE application directly interfaces with the host application. This minimizes the failure points between the handheld terminal and the host application.
- Our TE application, running on an enhanced Windows CE terminal, leaves open the possibility to implement newer web based applications in the future.
