ApplinX legacy application modernisation

ApplinX®

efficient modernisation of green-screen applications

ApplinX® turns 3270 and 5250 green screens into modern web and mobile experiences — without touching the underlying host logic. It is the shortest, lowest-risk path from terminal emulator to digital channel.

the software

what it is

ApplinX® is a host integration platform that captures legacy screen flows — z/OS, IBM i, Unisys, Natural, VT — and exposes them as web applications, mobile UIs, or service APIs. The original host application remains untouched; ApplinX® sits in front of it, translating interaction.

why it matters

Rewriting a stable host application is expensive, slow, and high-risk — and often the business logic inside is exactly what the organisation trusts. ApplinX® addresses the real problem: the interface, not the engine. You get a contemporary user experience, web and mobile reach, and service-enabled access, while the system of record keeps doing what it has always done reliably.

capabilities

screen capture & mapping

Automatically discover, record and model host screen flows, fields and navigation paths into a reusable application model.

web & mobile UI

Generate responsive web and mobile front-ends that consume the mapped screens, with full control over branding, UX and workflow composition.

service enablement

Expose host transactions as REST, SOAP or Java services — letting the legacy host participate in modern integration, APIs and microservices.

screen composition

Combine multiple host screens into a single, streamlined user workflow — eliminating the multi-step sequences that make green-screen UX painful.

identity integration

Integrate with enterprise SSO and identity providers so host access is governed by the same directory as the rest of the estate.

non-invasive deployment

Zero changes to the host. ApplinX® connects through the same protocols the terminal emulator uses, so core application stability is preserved.
