Strovent Systems
Modernization

Modern front ends for your 3270 applications

We build web, mobile and desktop interfaces on top of the IBM 3270 mainframe systems you already run. Your COBOL, CICS and IMS applications stay exactly as they are.

How it works

A new interface, the same proven backend

01

Headless 3270 engine

Our engine signs on to your host over TN3270E with TLS and drives the existing screens, exactly as a user would.

02

Each screen becomes an API

Fields on each screen are mapped to clean, typed API calls, with host validation and error messages carried through.

03

A modern UI on top

We design and build the web, iPhone, iPad or desktop app your staff use, built around their workflow rather than the screen flow.

Why this approach

Modernize what people see, not what already works

Rewriting a core system is slow and risky. Keeping the backend means no data migration and no change to your business rules.

Starting point

A fixed-price pilot of one workflow

We pick one high-value workflow with you, such as an account inquiry or an order entry, and deliver it as a working modern app against your host. You get a fixed scope and price agreed up front, and a clear view of what a wider rollout involves.
