Underlying PDF source documents (FrameMaker) available by verbal request Repository Contents Base rules for transformation to typographic fonts by data element class Includes form-specific rules and global GUI rules for 3 enterprise accounting applications Global rules that apply to multiple screens, such as when a standardized screen heading layout exists Newlook Developer IDE designer function allows toggle between GUI and textual UI views for each customized form Client side scripts including one-click last report display Includes four 15 minute phone consultations with a smartclient respository developer (within 6 months) Includes 12 months download of smartclient 10.7 FPS v4 category updates, fixes and new build releases

• gain great interoperability with IBM i business applications directly from remote user's Windows desktop
  
  
• you can refactor the 5250 interface with this solution without changing a single native program!
• go over the internet with or without VPN
• slow internet at some user's houses?  No problem!  Lightweight bandwidth requirements...
• no elevated authority requirements for the user - admin (or power user) credentials not required at run time
• does require a firewall static IP and port map at corporate

• retain textual UI visual cues and interaction shortcuts for experienced workers while adding intuitive recognition GUI elements for younger workers and new hires
  
  
• function keys work via key press or button click
• equivalent keyboard and mouse actions avoid introducing more keyboard to mouse and back hand movements
• allow workers to retain their keyboard versus mouse preferences - not every department will gain productivity by revolving everything around a mouse click, so no need to force an unproductive change
• retain the speedy nature of the thin client / textual UI without requiring high-speed internet

• start phase I with only the essence - try out your best global level transformation rules before any form level overrides - prioritize form level overrides in applications needed by remote workers first
  
  
• keep in mind - even with dynamic transformation to typographic fonts and proportional spacing, most mono-spaced alignments are recognized automatically!
  
  
• customizing at the form level is OK but best to minimize in Phase I - even though many changes can still be made to the host version of the screen that won't affect the form-level customization
