The Legend Group is a Florida-based provider of retirement planning services. For over forty-years, they have been helping people to invest in their future. Client information is held securely in an AS/400 application but the emulation software they were using was too costly.
IBM Host On-Demand provides enterprise-level emulation. It has a larger footprint than Flynet Viewer and is more complex. The
Legend Group looked at a number of alternative emulators, but felt that the “Thin Client” aspect of Viewer was most compelling. Using
Flynet Viewer, administrators do not need to install anything on client machines. Users are simply directed via a web address in
Internet Explorer to the AS/400 web-based emulation.
“Unlike the other emulators I tried, Flynet Viewer was easy to setup and suffered no glitches along the way.”
Senior Developer, The Legend Group
Flynet Viewer is a flexible tool, used by both SMEs and large corporations. Its ease of use and cost effectiveness clearly set it
apart from its competitors, offering greater return on investment for organisations.
Jeff Urbanczyk, VP of Sales and Operations at Inventu Corporation, commented: "Working with The Legend Group was a classic
example of Flynet Viewer's power and ease of use. We contacted The Legend Group when they were struggling with evaluating other
thin-client emulators. We offered them an evaluation of Flynet Viewer that worked effortlessly for them and they purchased the
product. Overall, it is a testament to Flynet Viewer's technology and its very affordable price point."
At present, Flynet Viewer has met The Legend Group’s business needs for a thin-client, terminal emulator. As they are a .NET
development shop, in the future, they plan on investigating Flynet Viewer’s host extensibility features allowing a .NET developer to
enhance the user’s emulation experience.
