Company profileIs your strategy in place when it comes to web, cloud, BYOD …etc.?

Are you torn between creating new feature-rich web-based applications and continuing with writing new, fast, low cost, green- screen applications?

Are faced with a diminishing pool of mainframe application expertise?

Is there a constant demand for new mainframe services?

FlynetViewer is the leading solution for modernising and integrating mainframe applications with web and internet based technologies. It allows you to do far more with less mainframe expertise and IT budget.

As pioneers of integrating new technologies with mainframe and legacy screen based applications, Flynet developers were responsible for creating the first dial-up terminal emulator, the first mainframe to internet gateway, and most recently the world’s first ‘cloud-ready’ terminal emulator.

Since 1994 Flynet has been supporting a global and varied customer base supporting solutions with 10 to 10,000 users.

Product/service informationH&W’s industry-leading SYSB-II is a cost-effective way to use existing VSAM-reliant CICS applications to accommodate business growth without downtime due to batch. The software allows CICS and batch to have concurrent access to VSAM files any time, which provides two advantages.

First, users have full read/write access to CICS applications 24/7, even while batch runs, so they have more time to use the system. This allows customers and employess to be productive more hours of the day and for CICS applications to be available in new ways, such as part of web or mobile apps, without batch-related downtime. Second, users have access to VSAM data that is being updated closer to real time, so they don’t have to wait for overnight changes or rely on “point in time” data. Completing services like cutting checks, making payments, or submitting claims becomes a faster process.

Simple and quick to implement, SYSB-II doesn’t require application source-code changes, additional hardware, data migration, or rearchitecting the existing IT infrastructure. Gain a competitive edge while enhancing customer satisfaction, improving user productivity, and empowering employees and customers to make better decisions based on better data.

Company profileillustro Systems focus on delivering software solutions that empower today’s mainframe customer to lead the way with innovation.

We believe that web-enabling mainframe applications should mean return on investment in hours, not months. And our z/Web-Host product provides just that. And with the rapidly emerging standard of SOA and using Web Services and XML as the method of exchanging data between computers, our z/XML-Host product delivers a powerful yet simple solution. Our customers have their Internet-enabling projects in production in the same time it takes just to evaluate competitive solutions.

Product/service informationillustro’s z/Ware family of products have earned the reputation of being easy. The z/Web-Host product

transforms any 3270 application, whether CICS or non-CICS, directly into a fully functional, web-based interface that anyone can use – all without touching the original application. And with z/XML-Host, mainframe data can be automatically converted into XML documents and accessed via Web Services using SOAP, meaning your data and business-critical logic can be shared with any platform or application. This includes languages like Java and .Net, or Web-Services-enabled platforms including IBM’s WebSphere and Microsoft Office. What’s more, both z/Web-Host and z/XML-Host run directly on either z/OS (OS/390) or z/VSE (VSE/ESA), so there’s no need to add cost and complexity to the process by using a different, less reliable platform just to Internet-enable your mainframe.

And now that your mainframe data can easily be made available on the ‘Net, security is an important issue. That’s where our iCYA network appliance comes in. The iCYA delivers full Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protection so your data is encrypted until it reaches a trusted source.

Our Directors have many decades of experience in managing CICS, upgrading it, implementing large scale application infrastructures, and supporting day-to-day operations. This has led to a deep understanding of the challenges faced by businesses that depend upon CICS and a burning desire to help them to improve the quality of services they deliver to their customers.

Product/service informationOur PlexSpy solution provides real-time status monitoring information about named business applications that run on CICS on systemZ.

Simple to use, it can be easily adopted by support staff.

Access is via a Web browser. There is no off-host installation required.

Using PlexSpy will: shorten the time it takes to understand the nature of problems affecting CICS applications; allow you to visualize the entire CICS footprint of your application; plan and monitor change implementations.

Our CICS JS/Server software exploits the power of the mainframe to serve several popular Open Source javascript libraries to web applications. These include: JQuery; Dojo Toolkit; YUI Library; MooTools and others.

Modern web applications need sophisticated user interfaces and Open Source javascript libraries facilitate the creation of them. However, given that executing javascript can alter basic browser functionality, it is essential to take control over these resources for security reasons.

CICS JS/Server allows these resources to be served from CICS on z/OS. An environment that can be trusted to have proper management and control processes in place.

Bespoke content can also be served and novel new CICS web applications can be constructed, managed and operated using the software.

The centralized management system of StoneGate allows administrators to monitor, upgrade, and control firewall and VPN instances remotely, through a graphical user interface, which eases the administrative task and lowers the total cost of ownership. With its built-in patented Multi-Link technology, StoneGate provides Internet communication high availability. StoneGate for zSeries removes the need for external firewall servers, and offers security right up to the mainframe.

Product/service informationExtend legacy systems through web-enablement:Virtel is a comprehensive web-enablement middleware that serves legacy host applications such as CICS, IMS, Natural or TSO as web pages or web services over TCP/IP connections. Web-enabling extends the relevance and investment of critical legacy systems. It is simpler, faster, and more cost effective than redeveloping, replacing, or re-hosting.

Web Access Modernization:Virtel extends host applications to thin-client web browsers over secure IP connections while retaining their familiar 3270 screen user interface. This thin-client architecture allows VIRTEL to be “client agnostic”, i.e. it works automatically with any web client whatever the OS, browser or platform, even with Smartphones, PDAs, tablets. This architecture facilitates BYOD, mobile access and other such modernization initiatives.

User Interface Modernization:Virtel serves host transactions as user-friendly web pages (GUIs) that provide a genuine web experience: assisted data entry, new mashup (Ajax) services, redesigned workflow, graphical and ergonomic interface... It serves multiple presentations (green screen, mobile accordion, etc.) of the same application or transaction concurrently to different users.

Application Interface Modernization:Virtel creates interactive bidirectional connections that integrate host and server applications, for example RESTful XML-over-HTTP, MQ, or SOAP web services that consume 3270 transactions.
