Requirement Details Implication
Service Definition and Top‐down and bottom‐up Remove layers of complexity toService Definition and Granularity
Top down and bottom up,Coarse and fine‐grained
Remove layers of complexity to deliver the RIGHT service
Sub‐system support CICS, IMS, Batch, CA IDEAL, CA IDMS Natural Data etcUsing one tool reduces training and
complexityCA IDMS, Natural, Data, etc. complexity
Speed Development and executionDeliver quickly
with the required performance
Deployment On the mainframe using specialty engines, or off the mainframe Control costs related
to integration and SOA workload
Flexibility and Dynamism
Today’s choice shouldn’t effect tomorrow
Quickly adapt to changing requirements and cost

Cost Control The solution can’t cost too much to own and operateIf it costs too much, you won’t event
get to try…

• Lightweight development toolsLightweight development tools• No coding or code generated• Rapid iteration gets the job done
• Near‐zero learning curve to access deep feature set• No risk deployment choices
Onboard mainframe (zIIP and zAAP) to zLinux to Linux to Windows
• Banking, Insurance, Manufacturing• Thousands of services millions of transactions

Problem Expose legacy IMS and MQ Series applications that run the core business
Lack of reuse and productivity
Return on investment in Ivory achieved in 12 months• Hundreds of new services added credit reporting property
Results
• Hundreds of new services added – credit reporting, property deeds, checking, deposits, loans, insurance, etc.
Snapshot production stats…p p• Over 400 services in production after 18 months
• Over 5 million services invoked per day

Problem Writing code was mainframe integration strategy with redundant interfaces throughout the mainframe
Several strategic applications with very aggressive delivery dates
Ivory Service Architect was the ONLY way to meet Mobile Banking dates Results
Ivory is saving the bank hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in
maintenance
Ivory has allowed the bank to slash delivery time of critical applications by
up to 75%
®
Ivory projects are now redeployed on leveraging the zIIP engine reducing
GPP CPU by up to 50%

Selected Ivory Service Architect from GT Software to develop IMS‐basedGT Software to develop IMS‐based Web services
Met the aggressive timeline (8 months)
W b i 80% fWeb services reuse ~ 80% for next brokerage project
IMS and the mainframe are the cornerstones of LBBW’s SOA

“The ease of use of the Ivory Studio enabled the expedient creation of Web services, which allowed for the speed of the implementation of the project.
Our team mastered the tool within two days without any training just by ‘learning by doing”

One of Ivory’s first customers
Mainframe‐based services Serving 10 applications across 7 business areas
CRM i t ti i l i f th t l i• CRM integration, single‐view of the customer, claims processing, etc.
Snapshot production stats• Over 300 services• Over 200K web service requests per dayOver 200K web service requests per day
Moving to zLinux with no re‐development

Combine any supported systems (IMS, CICS, etc.) in a single service with no coding
Multi‐operation services reduce single service with no coding

Usage‐based Pricing = No risk to try Ivory• Introduced August 2009• Introduced August 2009 • Demonstrates our confidence in the quality of the Ivory solution
• Pay for what you utilize in production
C t l t i I ith LiControl costs using Ivory with zLinux• Deploy in zLinux or off the mainframe to further control costs
• “Near Zero” learning curve limits the need for expensive training and services

C t ff ti b t i f i t ti iCost‐effective, robust mainframe integration is possible and proven
Fully understand your requirements and options before you pick a “mainframe Web services” solution
Don’t settle for “free” tools that are sub‐standard and increase mainframe costsand increase mainframe costs
