Strategic options for extending CICS to an SOA
Available in replay for your convenience, register now.
Developed for: Technical professionals and first-line IT managers, operations managers, data and application integration architects and programmers, application development managers, application developers
Technical level: Intermediate
For many years, best practices included having core business applications and sometimes data residing in CICS®. But the drive to stay competitive demands
change, and open-standards architectures such as SOA are at the heart of that change. That means exposing the key business processes based on
CICS, while causing minimal disruption to the CICS application end-user. Start here by understanding your options and how they might impact your business.
This complimentary teleconference will examine the technical options that you can use to transform your CICS applications to deliver flexible reuse, even if
changing CICS applications is not an option. We will offer examples of when each of the transformation styles is most appropriate. We will go over the typical
business considerations and technical requirements you should carefully consider. And we’ll explore some of the key products delivering on these requirements,
such as CICS Transaction Server V3.2, WebSphere® MQ for z/OS® and CICS Transaction Gateway, along with other resources and next steps.
Join us and learn how you can:
- Move your connectivity styles progressively to suit different business and solution requirements
- Extend the reach of CICS from a wide range of computing platforms, inside and outside of your enterprise, to access business data of all types
- Gain great flexibility in the placement of business logic with the innate, loosely coupled style of programming supported by WebSphere MQ
Speakers: Mark Cocker, CICS Technical Strategy and Planning, MBCS, IBM Certified Solution Designer
Dermot Flaherty, STSM, Lead Architect WebSphere MQ Product and Technologies
Phil Wakelin, CICS Strategy and Planning
This teleconference will also be available for replay after the event.
