Window Menu provides unparalleled ease-of-use and menu security for all iSeries and AS/400 users. Our menu system has been serving the industry for more than fifteen years in over 1500 installations and 100,000 users worldwide. We have refined our system based on feedback from thousands of users.  

A step by step approach leads the administrator through User enrollment, Menu and Menu Option creation. The end-user benefits from a uniform menu look and feel and simple navigation processes. Enroll a new user with security clearance to hundreds of menus and menu options within a few minutes. Close adherence to industry standard SAA and CUA coupled with ease of maintenance, performance, reliability and timely releases have made Window Menu a solid solution in menu generation software.

Avoid costly CL menu programming, debugging and technical support. Window Menu is designed for administrators with no programming background, but can be used by programmers to enhance their productivity.
