Development teams that need to rapidly build, maintain, and modernize business applications through model-driven native code generation
About 2E
2E simplifies IBM i application development by integrating design modeling, native code generation, and deployment tools in a single environment. It helps teams rapidly develop and modernize IBM i business applications while preserving the value of existing systems and reducing the complexity of traditional development. With 2E, developers can design applications at a higher level of abstraction and automatically generate native IBM i code, helping improve productivity, consistency, and maintainability across the application lifecycle. It supports model-based development, enabling teams to define business rules, data structures, screens, and application logic in a structured way before generating reliable applications for IBM i environments. It helps organizations accelerate delivery, improve application quality, and make development more accessible by reducing the amount of manual coding required.

OpenFrame
OpenFrame from TmaxSoft is a comprehensive mainframe modernization and replatforming solution that enables organizations to migrate legacy mainframe applications and data to open systems such as Linux, Unix, Docker containers, or public cloud environments without modifying existing business logic, preserving core functionality while reducing total cost of ownership and avoiding risky rewrites. It delivers a future-oriented, standard three-tier architecture that improves performance, stability, flexibility, and scalability compared with traditional mainframes, with support for over 100K MIPS and increased processing capacity. OpenFrame uses advanced compiler technology and an integrated asset analysis environment (OF Manager) to automatically convert user interface logic, application logic, and data structures so applications run natively in open environments with minimal manual effort, enabling existing personnel and skill sets to be retained.
