The ideal toolset for rapid and robust IBM i mobile development


Profound UI Modernization and Development Tool for IBM i

Our Profound UI Suite makes it easy to bring your IBM i applications into the 21st Century with rich, graphical user interfaces.

Now, with Profound Mobile, you can use a version of the Profound UI suite that is streamlined for mobile application development! No experience with mobile development? No problem! If you understand RPG or PHP development, you can design a modern, mobile application in just hours. 

Best yet, you will deliver mobile applications that have powerful native capabilities – including integration with the device’s camera or voice recognition features – without learning how to code in languages like Java or Objective-C.

Why Go Mobile?

More than ever before, it’s vital to give employees fast and easy access to vital business information. By making your IBM i applications available on mobile devices, including iPhone and Android phones, your salesforce can be more agile, your warehouse workers more efficient, and your healthcare workers more supportive.

Profound Mobile Features:

Profound Mobile UI makes anyone a mobile expert with features that make development fast and easy:

The Profound Mobile Visual Designer for IBM i applications
  • Mobile Visual Designer:  This development interface gives you access to a wide number of drag-and-drop widgets that are ideal for mobile interfaces. The Mobile Canvas makes it easy to design an interface for any mobile device. You’ll also have the ability to test capabilities like Tap-to-Call, screen rotation, accordion panels, and canvas resizing.

  • RPG Open Access Handler: Who wants to use a green screen on a mobile device? Not your users! Cut the ties to 5250 and deploy truly modern RPG applications with the first available handler for RPG Open Access.

  • Profound Mobile Client: This Client streamlines the process of deploying native mobile applications by making them instantly accessible via a client on the iTunes and Google Play stores.

Also available:

  • PhoneGap Integration: By packaging and deploy your application with PhoneGap, you can add your own logo and branding elements to your application, and deploy to app stores with native capabilities, without the need to learn iOS or Android programming languages.  This option also supports offline capabilities.

  • Custom Development Services: Don’t have a developer on staff, or need help building applications? The Profound Logic team offers custom development services to help you reach your goals.
