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.
