Learn what IBM’s Open Access (ROA) is and why ROA is a strategic investment in RPG, which provides a long term path forward for new and existing RPG applications. ROA enables native RPG code (minus the 5250)  to connect with modern devices, platforms and applications including the cloud. For example, ROA can deliver modern user experiences (UX) across multiple platforms, UIs and devices like web, RIA, iPhone, iPad and Android smartphones.
ROA eliminates the requirement to work with the 5250 datastream, enabling multi-channel UXs to be created direct from the RPG code, via a handler.
