Pixieware Benefits
Why Upgrade?
We recommend you transform or migrate to a new User Interface because it is a low risk option. Many attempts to replace well established, proven legacy systems by totally new systems fail because:
- Projects have a tendency to overrun both budget and time-line.
- Legacy systems rarely have current specifications.
- A large repository of knowledge is stored in the intellect of the legacy support staff.
- The only correct source of information is the code itself.
- New system implementations are invariably dogged by the inability to reproduce the existing core functionality.
- Most of the project resource is expended on reaching the current level of functionality and only a small percentage on adding value.
- Iteration after iteration of acceptance test and re-fit takes time.
Transforming with PixiewareŽ software enables businesses to carry the thousands of hours of their existing development expenditure with them, thereby making a saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars over alternative options.

Features of Pixieweb - Web Enabling
- Significant tricks which web apps can not normally do, but which Pixieweb allows:
Persistent or non-persistent connections.
No phantom processors used just conventional programs.
Field-by-field or batch processing of forms.
Multi-tasking, open several pages and flip between tasks, even while any or all are in mid-task (allows task bar tabbing).
Dynamic database access "drill down" without the usual web-app need to redraw the entire page.
Multivalue grids. Enter values in the grid areas, and note that grid expands. Incorporate cancel control buttons as well as drop-down boxes.
Our technique is basically a replacement for PRINT and INPUT statements, and does NOT require you to re-write your back-end legacy code into little external subroutines, and it is NOT a toolkit that requires you to start over.
Try Field-by-Field Grid Techniques
Develop simple or sophisticated web pages to enhance & complement core business applications.
Transform terminal functions into a graphical user environment by modifying program code.
Full GUI Web-app conversion by using a "browser" as a front-end (e.g. Internet Explorer).
Front-end your MV applications with MS Office applications (e.g. Word, Excel, Access).
Web enable your apps. and introduce e-commerce by dynamically accessing core databases.
Simplified support strategy if different MV databases utilised (especially software houses).
You can do it (we train you), or we can do it for you (contact us for a quote on your pilot web app).
Evolve into the GUI / Windows / Web environment at own pace as green screens will still work.
Introduce new technology rapidly as our upgrades take much less time than a complete rewrite.
Develop non-persistent connections to reduce the use of licenced ports over the Web.
Multi-platform capable: D3, Universe, RealityX, MVbase, UltPlus, Unidata, etc....
No need for intermediate Web based apps. to store data, use existing MV programs to do the work.
You have the freedom to choose the layout and style of the dynamic web pages.
Free evaluation copies and free installation support available.
Inexpensive to implement.
