This presentation will recap many of the general interest items we accomplished when modernizing a native iSeries application, including update of the user interface, providing internet access, deploying the PC client software and maintaining the GUI rules on the PC. Key strategy/ methodology decisions will be reviewed along with technical details subsequently required. This presentation will give you ideas you can use when taking on modernization initiatives at your company.

The presentation topics will include:
1. Providing a rule-based GUI presentation on client PCs; touching upon trade-offs involved with different types of newlook clients, typographical fonts, dynamic generic transformation versus specific, software changes on client side versus server side.
2. Providing fast, light-weight, secured access to iSeries server via internet with SSL, using Digital Certificate Manager, i5/ OS and an example routing configuration (step by step pictures provided but time does not permit detailed review during presentation).
3. Using the browser to deploy the PC client software and separately, to provide GUI rules refresh, with considerations for controlled desktop environments

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Build upon the examples shown for use at their company.
2. Better communicate with networking pros on SSL and PC Deployment topics.
