Cognos Axiant 4GL

The High-Productivity Windows IDE for Building Core Business Solutions

IBM® Cognos® Axiant 4GL lets you migrate existing server-centric PowerHouse applications to modern computing environments.

Save up to 90 percent of the time taken to build, deploy and enhance robust and scalable client/server, mobile, terminal-based and Web-based applications.

  • Adopt new environments such as Windows, with your applications functioning as thin, fat, or mobile clients.
  • Move to fully distributed client/server, reusing your existing UNIX, OpenVMS, MPE/iX servers, or Windows servers.
  • More easily move PowerHouse applications from indexed file systems and non-relational databases to relational database management systems.
  • Powerful Visual Development: Axiant wraps a powerful new visual integrated development environment (IDE) around the PowerHouse 4GL you’re used to.
  • Get built-in utilities to import data definitions from the PowerHouse dictionary; relational metadata; QUIZ, QTP, and QUICK source code.
  • Increase productivity through a workbench repository
  • Leverage Your PowerHouse Investment: Re-use PowerHouse skills and experience because PowerHouse is the underlying engine of Axiant.

The high-productivity Windows IDE for building core business solutions

As an integral member of the IBM Cognos application development tools, IBM® Cognos® Axiant 4GL provides a Windows-based IDE (integrated development environment) for building and maintaining core business solutions.

Save up to 90% of your development time

Compared with traditional visual development tools, IBM Cognos Axiant 4GL can save up to 90% of the time taken to build, deploy and enhance robust and scalable client/server, mobile, terminal-based and Web-based applications.

Windows, Web and terminal solutions

IBM Cognos Axiant 4GL, when used in conjunction with a IBM Cognos PowerHouse 4GL server, enables both thin-client and terminal-based solutions to be built and maintained in a visual environment. And when used with IBM Cognos PowerHouse Web, Axiant also enables Web-based applications to be quickly built and deployed.

Migrate IBM Cognos PowerHouse applications to new environments

IBM Cognos Axiant 4GL can also assist with the migration of terminal-based IBM Cognos PowerHouse 4GL and IBM Cognos PowerHouse Client for Windows applications to new environments—and leverages your existing PowerHouse skills, code and experience to do so.
