The Profound UI Mobile Client allows users to access information stored on an IBM i server through the use of an iPhone or iPad. IBM i data can be retrieved, updated, and/or integrated with native device features, such as the camera for photo uploading. Once connection details are supplied, all IBM i data access is in real time. Existing IBM i character-based applications can be converted to be accessed using an enriched user interface on the mobile device. The Profound UI Mobile Client communicates with the Profound UI server component, which must be installed and properly configured on the IBM i server.
