Technology Corner >> Mainframe Based Applications

Close to 80 percent of enterprise-structured, mission-critical data resides on mainframe systems. These systems continue to run the majority of mission-critical applications, including customer service solutions, order entry systems, credit card authorization systems, and securities trading systems. Access to this vital data and the applications that leverage it is paramount; however, one of the most overlooked challenges is how to make legacy systems available to the various user communities. Forward-thinking user organizations that have been interviewed are quickly realizing that it makes better economic sense to leverage the existing value of these applications, rather than reinvent the wheel. We offer solutions that provide organizations with traditional Windows-based, thin, Web-based, and e-based technologies required accessing information and resources on mainframe systems, seamlessly. The solutions eliminate the obstacles associated with sharing, presenting, and integrating legacy information, allowing organizations to deliver the robust applications that will help them emerge as market leaders.
