We're using newlook and centric 7 to deliver a Smart Client scoreboard application that accesses iSeries programs and databases to provide real-time information presented in multiple datagrids, that can be customized by the end user. The ability to add ActiveX controls and utilize VB and Java scripting allows us to leverage the power of Windows, while maintaining the ease of use only provided by newlook. newlook & centric 7 are outstanding products, miles ahead of the competition. Actually, I retract that, there is NO competition! I have to agree that iSeries customers should get smart and get 7!"

New York Museum of Modern Art creates 'Modern art' with newlook

"newlook actually delivered everything it claimed. It's dynamic
'on-the-fly' recognition engine just makes sense. newlook should be a
mandatory purchase for any iSeries shop with robust legacy applications. We believe we can save hundreds of thousands of dollars by refacing and rejuvenating our iSeries applications and reducing the need to purchase, configure, and support PC packages."

GAN increases mobility and reduces communications costs

"We did not believe re-development was required or justified so we investigated web-enablement alternatives and selected newlook. Other products could provide a solution, but required massive amounts of work including significant re-training and expensive consulting support. newlook's dynamic architecture and advanced functionality was much more productive."

It provides efficient, integrated, remote graphical and 5250 access and can be deployed simply using a browser. newlook's real-time architecture means individual customers can have customised access to our applications without forcing us to maintain multiple versions of our application."

Datel

"Datel looked at a number of offerings to provide a sophisticated graphical look and feel to our application, but in the end the issue of double maintenance prompted us to look further afield. looksoftware's newlook real-time architecture was tested extensively. This was done both internally and on the client sites and the user base gave a resounding thumbs up. newlook is easy to use, reliable and provides a level of consistency that our clients applaud." 

Chris Houghton, Datel


"We wouldn't have been able to implement PeopleSoft World NIP successfully without a modern customized User Interface."

Dave Bishop, IT Manager, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals


"We are happy to use and recommend newlook. It gives us an excellent graphical interface and fast response times.
