On-the-fly modernization for green screen applications

Go beyond traditional “screen scraping.” Genie adds browser-based UI elements and modern navigation to your green screens—refacing your applications on-the-fly while adding Rich components and eliminating clunky, outdated menus.

Your green screens don’t have to look their age

Legacy 5250 interfaces still run the business—but their text-only screens and rigid menus frustrate users and slow onboarding. Genie modernizes the look and feel of your existing applications on-the-fly, with no rewrite and no disruption to the underlying code.

Refacing & navigation

Capabilities

What Genie brings to your applications

High-speed web enablement

Genie works directly with your legacy applications, without the use of Java applets or WebSphere middleware—guaranteeing the fastest possible performance.

🖱

Point-and-click interface

🔑

Role-based navigation

Replace green screen menus with secure web browser navigation, streamlined for users based on their job role and access.

The Genie approach

Modernization that respects your existing code

  • Reface 5250 screens in the browser without rewriting RPG or DDS
  • Add Rich GUI components—grids, charts, dropdowns, and graphical panels—to existing programs
  • Render applications accurately, with no Java applets or WebSphere middleware
  • Replace outdated green screen menus with role-based web navigation
  • Use a point-and-click design tool instead of hand-coding each transformation

This isn’t screen scraping – it’s on-the-fly modernization. Your green screen applications keep running exactly as they are, while your users get a modern web experience.
