Many people know Scott Klement as an expert in IBM i application and RPG development. But over the last year, Scott faced - and overcame - the battle of his life against a debilitating health condition.

Today's businesses operate in a global market, with customers and employees located in many countries around the world. To better support the needs of these businesses, we've released Profound UI 4.7.

As you may have seen, IBM has announced a major technology refresh for IBM i 7.1 (TR7 for short). TR7 brings several updates to the table, including enhancements to the DB2 database and Application Runtime Expert product, and the arrival of Ruby on Rails.

Next week, the Profound Logic team will be on-site at the TransForum 2013 Conference in Anaheim, CA. So what is an IBM i modernization software company doing at a trucking and transportation conference? It turns out that a large number of trucking companies run on the IBM i platform!

Mobile is a major initiative for many businesses in 2013, including those that run on the IBM i platform. If you have limited experience with creating mobile applications, this can be a daunting prospect. There are multiple approaches to going mobile, and some are not as difficult as you may think!

Profound UI 4.5 is here!

We're excited to announce that Profound UI 4.5 will be released at the COMMON 2013 Annual Meeting and Exposition taking place on April 7-10 in Austin, Texas. COMMON event attendees can see a live demo of Profound UI 4.5 at Booth #317 in the exposition hall.

When working with companies who are in the process of modernizing their IBM i applications, one of the most common questions we hear is, "Which development and modernization tools are right for our projects?"

One of the more popular topics of inquiry from our customers is the ability to easily offer mobile solutions using our product. While an application created with Profound UI can be opened within a mobile browser and resized accordingly, mobile users of this current generation have become more accustomed to installing and using native applications from their device that also interact with a device’s hardware features (camera, touch screen, gyroscope, etc.) However, mobile devices come in many different forms and flavors, and learning all the different development environments for each one can be a time consuming task.
