Custom Applications A company is not efficient without the use of computer and server applications that can bring the entire company and its customers together into one synergistic body. There is a need for applications on the IBM System i to be able to work with your company's existing PCs, printers, other servers, and not to mention the Internet. The need to be accessible over the Internet is big, especially if you have customers or salespeople that need access to your company. A lot of legacy programs do not have the ability to access the Internet the way the companies want them to. NSC, Inc. has a team of expert developers that has been able to bring companies and their customers together since 1981. We started making library and financial systems, and from there we took it to the next level. NSC, Inc. began incorporating the Internet into all of its applications in 1997 allowing companies to be able to access their NSC, Inc. custom applications wherever they were, at any time, and on any platform. If you want an application that can be accessed on you PCs, Apple computers, PDAs, cell phones, or any other device that has Internet access, NSC, Inc. can bring your IBM System i or other server to you with a single program installed onto your server. With the need for a single installation on your server only, your employees, clients, and vendors can access the NSC, Inc. custom application at any time. All of our custom applications are securely accessed through the web to ensure that only authorized users have access to your application. *What languages does NSC, Inc. specialize in?* Specializing in RPG, RPG/ILE, PHP, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, NSC, Inc. will customize any idea for the IBM System i or other server into a custom application that can be securely accessed via the Internet. *What if we do not need web-access for our applications?* If Internet access is not what you want, we do not limit our services to just web-based applications. Since 1981, our team has been customizing software for companies and government bodies that both access the Internet and/or works as a single application on a private network.

Connecting a customer to your company along with another company, such as a bank, is even more important if you want to make a sale over the Internet with real-time transfer of funds. NSC, Inc. can customize an application for your IBM System i or your website to connect your company via the Internet with your customers allowing for faster and more efficient data transfer. Or we can incorporate our product, *eBLIS™, into your application design/idea to bring your customers and salespeople together through a single web browser on any computer platform. Our team of experts can take this process a step even further by connecting your IBM System i to your customers and any other company or institution that you need to connect your customers with to make a data transaction even faster.

That is why we strive to make every effort to have a secure application that can bring the customer, company, and other institution connected without any interruption. We have the knowledge and expertise to make your goals happen! Contact us today to see how NSC, Inc. can help make your business more efficient. Web Enablement* We all know that the green screen on an IBM System i is not the easiest to learn to use and maneuver through unless you are using it every day; and not to mention, it also can be hard on your eyes after a couple of hours of use! There is also the hassle of teaching new users to work with the green screens. Not only is your company losing time from the boring processes of using the green screen, but you are also losing time from training employees to use the green screen. Our team of expert developers has taken the burden of training and poor maneuverability away, and will replace it with an easier-to-use front end web-based application. NSC, Inc. can take any green screen your company uses or is going to use and create an application that can be accessed via the Internet. Not only is the application accessible via the Internet, it also will have a graphical user interface (GUI) look. Basically, your green screen on your IBM System i is converted into a secure webpage that can be accessed at any time, anywhere, and from any type of computer. It also will look and operate like a regular application on your computer! *What happens to your existing data?* We understand that saving time is everything, which is why we do not touch any of your data. That's right, there is no conversion of old data or current data, reconfiguring the green screen, or any other kind of work done with your data unless requested. All of our applications are done on the front end, which means that your company's data and green screens are still running in the background. The only thing NSC, Inc. will have done is made the green screen easier to use with the creation of a GUI that anyone can use. We simply map our application to your green screen and data; all you have to do is use the simple and intuitive application. *What if we want to change some of the green screen functionality?* NSC, Inc. not only provides the services to convert your green screen application to a user-friendly GUI, we also possess the skills to adjust your existing applications. If there is something you see that you want added, changed, or removed to make things more efficient, NSC, Inc. can do it for you. We are your one-stop-shop! Contact us today to see how NSC, Inc. can help make your business more efficient. Data Conversion It is frustrating to have existing data on your PC and not be able to access it on your IBM System i or vice versa because it is in a different format. Companies face this every day, whether it is to transfer data from a platform that is not compatible with the IBM System i or if it is an oder PC with older versions of data files that cannot be converted. Another possibility is that your company would like to purchase an IBM System i, but your files will not be transferable from your old server. NSC, Inc. will take the current format of your data from your PC and convert it to the format your IBM System i uses. With the use of our conversion tools, NSC, Inc. can make that job easy. We can take our tools, put it on the IBM System i, and as a result of this your files will be accessible via the Internet in an HTML format which is easily convertible by a regular PC. Therefore, your files will be converted to a file that is readable by your PC or any other computer platform. On the other hand, NSC, Inc. can convert your data even if your company does not have or want to purchase our tools, or even have an IBM System i. Our team has the expertise to take any data file on any platform and is able to convert it to a format that is most suitable for your company. There is no more hassle of redoing or rewriting files to make them accessible on your new hardware or software. Contact us today to see how NSC, Inc. can help make your business more efficient. PC Integration Exchanging data between your server(s) and PCs is a critical part of maintaining an efficient work environment. Having a networked company almost guarantees that you are going to have to access data files on your IBM System i one time or another.

Whether your company needs to access data from yoru IBM System i to a PC or a PC to your IBM server, NSC, Inc. can bring your desktop PCs and server(s) together to communicate as one large system.

With the use of our tools, our team can implement this application to access jobs on the IBM System i view and retrieve generated reports, and query and export your legacy data all from a web browser on your PC. Or, if you have a customer where your salespeople need constant contact, we have *eBLIS™* which can also be implemented to bring your IBM System i together with your PCs and your customers.

Internet/Intranet Support The Internet is an integral part of business, and without it, a company can have a difficult time providing efficient services to its employees, vendors, and customers. With companies having branches all over the country, it is necessary for each one to communicate with all the others.
