LANSA expands Modernization Portfolio with acquisition of aXes

WOW....LANSA has done it again!  They continue to amaze me.  When many organizations are hunkering down to weather the economic storm, others like Oracle and LANSA charge forward!

 

Quick recap: The aXes eBusiness suite consists of three software modules:

 

  •  aXes Terminal Server provides web enablement of 5250 applications with the automatic generation of a highly customizable graphical user interface (GUI).
  • aXes Data Explorer Server provides an easy way to extract and then publish live DB2/400 data in a browser or to send query output to desktop applications like Microsoft Word and Excel.
  • aXes Spool File Server provides point-and-click access to output queues and spool files, with print-ready documents available in PDF, XML, HTML or Text formats.  See complete story and take the product for a spin.

 

Mike Albers of our firm has been having a more in-depth look and thinks several vendors (to be named later) should be very nervous about now and the future direction this suite provides LANSA.
