PowerBuilder’s Relationship to .NET • .NET is any programming language deployed to a single framework/OS, for example, C#, ASP, etc. • Traditional 4GLs have become .NET languages, for example, VB, Delphi, etc. • PowerBuilder is the latest .NET language, following the likes of VB and Delphi

What is Appeon for PowerBuilder? PowerBuilder Client/Server .NET/Java N-tier Web Appeon for PowerBuilder (APB) is … Add-on for PowerBuilder to develop complex.NET or Java Web applications rapidly and easily. Automatically Deploy

Why Choose Appeon? More companies prefer to use Appeon for their Web projects because they find that Appeon delivers superior ROI by… • Shortest development time and lowest cost. Develop new Java or .NET Web applications 4X faster and migrate existing PowerBuilder applications in just a few months or even weeks. • Least project risk. There is no need to rewrite your entire code base, no need to re-architect your system, no need to retool your engineering team, and even no need to re-train your end-users. • Most powerful PowerBuilder Web deployment. Effortlessly handles the largest of applications (up to 600MB) with the most robust PowerBuilder feature support, and offers powerful desktop integration with the richest Web user interface. • Extraordinary performance and scalability. Delivers virtually the performance of client/server with the scalability of the Web – there is no faster or more scalable Web deployment option.

Telecommunications - CRM CHINA UNICOM INTEGRATIVE ACCOUNT SYSTEM CHALLENGE • As China Unicom’s subscriber base had rapidly grown in recent years, the legacy CRM system had become outdated and difficult to maintain • Off-the-shelf CRM solutions did not match China Unicom’s business processes and departmental workflows or proved to be cost-prohibitive • Time-to-market was essential since customer accounts were in jeopardy SOLUTION • Appeon for PowerBuilder • Appeon Global IT Services RESULTS • System developed and successfully rolled out to China Unicom customers in just 8 months • Subscribers empowered to view account information and perform various account modifications without calling customer service • China Unicom engineers able to perform the ongoing maintenance the Web application using familiar PowerBuilder skills and toolsets • System runs stably at the rush hour when more than 1,300 online users are accessing the system

DEMO

Secret to Automated Web Deployment • Appeon replicates most powerful PB features such that existing PowerBuilder code can be readily mapped to the Web • All DataWindows styles • All Windows types for both SDI and MDI • All UI controls and 27 common system objects • Menus/Toolbars, all User Objects & NVOs • OLE/OCX/DLL • Most PowerScript • PFC Framework

Preserving Rich GUI on the Web Based on AJAX, Appeon precisely replicates the source PB application resulting in the most productive UI for your users that beats current offerings in JSF/J2EE and Web Forms/.NET Web Click n’ Deploy PowerBuilder

N-Tier Platform for Web Apps • Appeon Developer – deploys to the Web using only PowerBuilder skills and IDE • Appeon Server for J2EE – implemented 100% in Java providing runtime services • Appeon Server for .NET – implemented 100% in C# providing runtime services • Standard N-tier Architecture – HTML, XML, JavaScript, ActiveX, Java and C#, HTTP/HTTPS, default IE browser settings and firewall friendly, seamless Web loading

Application Partitioning Web App Web Browser Distribute Consolidate Presentation Tier? App Server Client Business Logic? PB Client Database Consolidate Client/Server Architecture Client Database Where does the Presentation & Business Logic run? • Distributed to Web Browser Client & App Server vs. Consolidated on App Server? • This impacts the number of round trips across the Network or Internet • This impacts the performance and scalability of the application

Appeon Partitioning Approach Web App Presentation Tier Export Replicate PowerBuilder App HTML,XML, JavaScript Business Logic Convert Web browser Deploy Appeon Server Client DW, NVO Application Server Database Database Retain Database Database Appeon Utilizes a “Balanced” Architecture • Preserve business logic and UI of the original PowerBuilder application as a rich-client in standard Web browser • Deploy DataWindows, Embedded SQL, and heavy business logic to the J2EE or .NET application server • Re-use database and stored procedures via JDBC or ODBC

Rich Client Architecture • Performance • Supercharge Web performance/scalability through a “balanced” N-tier architecture ideal for complex functionality • Compiled language is 10X faster than interpreted (e.g. JavaScript) • Eliminate unnecessary, timely, and costly server roundtrips that frustrate end users (customer, partners, employees, etc.) • Features • Go beyond the browser and integrate seamlessly with any application, Windows OS, or hardware (scanner, printer, etc.) • Bring the rich functionality of traditional PowerBuilder applications into the standard Internet Explorer Web browser (OLE/OCX/DLL) • Desktop look n’ feel with multi-tasking floating windows, toolbars, menus, drag n’ drop, hot keys & shortcuts

Automatic Performance Boosting • Numerous functionalities built-in to boost Web performance under real-life situations • Download manager offers Just-in-Time (JIT) or Preload options for running the Web application • ActiveX optimized to be only 2MB in size yet virtually deliver same power as 8MB PBVM • 10X data compression to compress DataWindow result sets • 3-level DataWindow caching technology caches at the application server, Web server, and Web browser • Micro-refresh (via AJAX) eliminates all redundant generation and downloading of data, such as in commonly and frequently-used “Master-Detail” • Application server connection pooling can boost database scalability by several folds through “shared” connections

Complex Application Optimizations • Automatic conversion up to 95% in many cases. • Without doing any coding work, click deploy and see majority of your application Web-enabled • Occasionally, a line of PowerScript in an event handler that is not supported will prevent the launching of the functionality • Work around the unsupported feature using standard PB programming, perform an incremental deploy, and voila! • Not an all-or-nothing deal! • An application with known unsupported features or errors can still be Web deployed allowing you to explore the app • Problematic (Web) code is automatically commented out • Utilize Appeon Debugger to real-time debug the resulting Web application tracing back to specific line of PowerScript
