Easily Intergrate CICS Applications into a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

HostBridge is mainframe integration software. Running under CICS, the HostBridge base product intercepts CICS data before terminal data streams are generated as output or expected as input.

HostBridge then auto-converts the data to XML documents for ready integration with other enterprise applications, distributed systems, web applications, and any service-oriented architecture (SOA).

HostBridge products integrate CICS applications and mainframe data with virtually any distributed system. Organizations that rely on System z mainframes and CICS use HostBridge to:

• Web-enable CICS
• Integrate CICS with BPM, ERP, CRM, and other enterprise systems
• Orchestrate, automate, and integrate complex CICS transaction micro flows
• Transform legacy CICS applications into web services
• SOA-enable mainframe resources.

HostBridge converts CICS/mainframe data to XML to enable rapid integration with XML- and services-based architectures. Running on the mainframe under CICS, HostBridge exploits CICS Transaction Server tools and technologies to ensure the high-performance, high-fidelity integration. HostBridge Base is a prerequisite for other HostBridge products, modules, and connectors.

The HostBridge products exploit and complement the very latest and best that CICS Terminal Server natively offers. HostBridge also supports all relevant industry standards, including XML, HTTP, SOAP, and others. With HostBridge, XML- and services-based integration of CICS data is fast, flexible, cost-effective, and reliable.
