Mobile applications are becoming increasingly important for businesses as more processes move digital. Developing secure and efficient enterprise mobile apps requires experience with mobile-first strategies, open source tools, and API management. Zend Server can help businesses create mobile apps for their existing IBM i systems using open source PHP, helping ensure the same level of security as current systems while improving developer productivity. Case studies demonstrate how Zend Server has helped businesses modernize their applications and processes to engage customers in new ways through mobile.

• 70% are running on old, unsupported
PHP runtime versions

Challenge:
• International Copyright Enterprise (Sweden) needed to respond to a
quickly changing music industry and update its systems
Solution:

existing RPG business logic.
• Since then they have modernized their database, RPG applications using
Subprocedures and JavaScript/PHP.
Result:
• ICE was recognized by COMMON and IBM with the annual Innovation
Award in 2014. ICE represents the 3rd company to win this prestigious
award with a PHP application.
• ICE has become extremely nimble and the learning curve for new staff and
employees has virtually disappeared.
• ICE now operates in several countries in Europe and continues to grow
year after year.
