Share the Webinar

The Pitch

Your business runs on Informix 4GL. It works. But every year, the risk grows—aging technology, scarce developers, rising maintenance costs, and user expectations that outpace your legacy UI.

In this on-demand session, Four Js experts Kiz Syed and Mike Folcher show how organizations are modernizing their mission-critical applications without rewriting a single line of business logic.

Through real customer examples, you’ll see how the Genero Enterprise platform transforms proven I4GL systems into modern, efficient, and cloud-ready applications—safely, incrementally, and at a fraction of the cost and disruption of a full rewrite.

Watch the replay to learn how to:

  • Eliminate rewrite risk while preserving your core business logic

  • Modernize UI/UX and databases at your own pace

  • Future-proof your applications with Genero Enterprise

Modernization doesn’t have to mean starting over. See how leading organizations moved forward—without losing what already works.
