Cognos Axiant 4GL

IBM® Cognos® Axiant 4GL lets you migrate existing server-centric PowerHouse applications to modern computing environments.

Save up to 90 percent of the time taken to build, deploy and enhance robust and scalable client/server, mobile, terminal-based and Web-based applications.

• Adopt new environments such as Windows, with your applications functioning as thin, fat, or mobile clients.
• Move to fully distributed client/server, reusing your existing UNIX, OpenVMS, MPE/iX servers, or Windows servers.
• More easily move PowerHouse applications from indexed file systems and non-relational databases to relational database management systems.
• Powerful Visual Development: Axiant wraps a powerful new visual integrated development environment (IDE) around the PowerHouse 4GL you’re used to.
• Get built-in utilities to import data definitions from the PowerHouse dictionary; relational metadata; QUIZ, QTP, and QUICK source code.
• Increase productivity through a workbench repository
• Leverage Your PowerHouse Investment: Re-use PowerHouse skills and experience because PowerHouse is the underlying engine of Axiant.
