The Ivory Data Access SQL engine provides direct access to 3270 screens from a variety of open system environments or mainframe platforms using standard SQL syntax. Ivory Data Access supports the joining of data from 3270 screens with information from other mainframe data sources (i.e. IMS, DL/1, DB2, VSAM, ADABAS, CA-Datacom, CA-IDMS), presenting the end user with relevant data in familiar relational data views. Ivory Data Access provides fast, efficient data access that is flexible and transparent.

With Ivory Data Access, you can reference the data directly from your 3270 screens and applications instead of having to work from the base data. Online applications access the base data, manipulate it, process it and display the results on your 3270 screens. That is the data you want to use in your client/server or Web-applications, and Ivory Data Access allows you to access this data through simple SQL commands.

Ivory VisualConnect enables you to put an intuitive, graphical front end onto 5250 or 3270 green screens. Access to your mainframe becomes possible through a standard browser interface without changing the back-end application.
 
With Ivory VisualConnect, you can modernize your legacy IBM applications, creating Internet and intranet applications within hours, not months or years.
Skip unwanted 5250 or 3270 screens and merge data and fields into these new simplified screens, enhancing and rejuvenating your 3270/5250 applications. The development and deployment of your screens can be done in a phased approach that conforms to your time frame.
 
The powerful scripting language allows you to change the navigation through the 3270/5250 application by combining screens, splitting heavily populated screens or stripping unwanted screens. No special editing skills or changes to existing applications are required.
 
When used with Ivory Service Architect, developers can incorporate Ivory-based web services in Ivory VisualConnect 3270/5250 applications.
