GARTNER APPLICATION INTEGRATION AND WEB SERVICES SUMMIT 2006, SAN DIEGO, CALIF., JUNE 19-21, 2006 – AttachmateWRQ affirmed its commitment to the mainframe, web and desktop integration market and announced today that it will showcase its Verastream legacy integration suite at the Gartner Application Integration and Web Services Summit 2006, held at the Sheraton San Diego in San Diego, California. AttachmateWRQ’s deep and expanded development resources and award-winning technical support ensure that the Company’s Verastream product line provides the IT industry with the most powerful and comprehensive mainframe, web and desktop integration technology, functionality and support needed to drive business productivity and streamline integration projects.
At the Summit, AttachmateWRQ executives will showcase how the Verastream legacy integration suite addresses common business needs by reusing all legacy application assets, including mainframe, desktop and web-based legacy applications. Backed by a highly skilled team of technology experts and the aggressively funded AttachmateWRQ, Verastream’s low-risk, low-cost approach to legacy integration brings expanded integration capabilities to the broader marketplace.
“AttachmateWRQ is deeply committed and well positioned to help customers build on and use their legacy assets effectively and competitively,” said Randy Robinson, senior vice president of products and marketing at AttachmateWRQ. “Verastream breaks new ground with its unique ability to integrate legacy data with service, supply chain and other customer-facing applications, enabling companies to move into the web services and SOA business eras without sacrificing the valuable business data residing on their legacy applications."
Balboa Insurance Group, First American Default Technologies, NEC America and PPG’s LYNX Services, among others, have all selected AttachmateWRQ Verastream as their Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based host integration platform of choice.
AttachmateWRQ’s recent industry advancements in the mainframe integration market include the newly launched Verastream Bridge Integrator, a native, mainframe-resident adapter that runs in the IBM CICS Transaction Server. This new CICS-focused solution provides reliable, high-performance integration to CICS applications by rapidly transforming business-critical functionality into reusable services. Verastream Bridge Integrator accommodates any number of popular SOA technologies and rounds out the Verastream product family.
Expanding on Verastream’s mainframe and web integration expertise, AttachmateWRQ has added support for new, comprehensive desktop application integration capabilities. Unlike other point solutions that require developers to replace, re-engineer, or recreate their IT investments, Verastream’s SOA-compliant desktop integrator can integrate Windows, Java, DOS, green screen and packaged applications right at the desktop to create seamless, highly efficient solutions. Verastream’s web integration capabilities enable companies to keep up with the enterprise demand for new web services and applications, especially within Microsoft environments that require reuse of existing legacy functionality.
AttachmateWRQ Verastream works collaboratively or as a stand-alone tool along with the company’s host access, security and management products, enabling companies to extend the use of existing IT investments while adopting valuable new technologies to improve their businesses.
