In RAMP applications the user interface is driving the 5250 panels, rather than the 5250 screens driving the application.

The difference in who is driving is what makes RAMP different to, and so much more powerful than any traditional form of 5250 screen scraping technology.

RAMPed applications do not just look better, they are easier and more productive to use and move around in, and easier to teach someone new to use.

You can easily extend the modernized application by adding in new features such as e-mail, voice, video, web browser interfaces, desktop integration features, etc. that are not possible using the 5250 interface.
