Gartner Group on Mainframe Integration ““The future of the programmatic integration market is one of fewer vendors, more focused on SOA or event-driven architectures. They are the leading strategies selected by organizations as part of their legacy modernization initiatives...”” Dale Vecchio, Research VP, Gartner Magic Quadrant for Programmatic Integration Servers, 2005 Gartner Research, February 25, 2005

Significant Operational Issues • Quality of Service (QoS) • End-to-end solutions as strong as the weakest link • Fragile implementations often based on gateways • Lack of consolidated diagnostics • Latency due to increased complexity • Agility • Complexity slows support for new applications • Additional hardware deployment often required • Lack of clarity on which option to choose – analysis paralysis • Cost • Redundant hardware gateways for resilience • Software licensing fees for multiple products • Multiple vendor management • Training costs for administration of multiple product • Additional employee costs for effective management of all products • Cost of systems outage due to QoS issues

Shadow z/Direct • Direct SQL/Data access to: • DB2, IDMS/DB, IMS/DB, VSAM and Adabas • Supports programs using industry standard ODBC, JDBC or J2CA (JCA) without any intermediate hardware gateways • Makes mainframe applications appear as database stored procedures, supporting: • CICS, IMS/TM, Natural and IDMS/DC programs and presentation layer • Scales to thousands of transactions per second • Supports two-phase commit (2PC) for data integrity
Shadow z/Services • Web services - SOAP-based mainframe integration • SLI, BLI, DLI • Sources - CICS, IMS, IDEAL, IDMS, Natural, databases • Supports both Publish and Consumption • Simplifies mainframe integration • Flexible deployments • Mainframe • Shadow RTE • CICS • Distributed
SOA – Mainframe Perspective • Specific Relevance to Mainframe SOA • Arcane systems • Original tightly coupled development • “Fancy” programming for technical expediency of a bygone era • Existing mainframe integration methods force tight coupling • Web Services • Not a solution to organizational loose coupling • Without SOA, Web Services are just 21st century RPCs Web Services with SOA Web Services without SOA <SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:SI="HTTP://DEV1.NEONSYS.COM:8093/MJC/MARK01"> <s0:QSTAFF> <s0:QSTAFFInput> <s0:ID xsi:type="xsd:short">10</s0:ID> </s0:QSTAFFInput> </s0:QSTAFF> </SOAP-ENV:Body> <SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:SI="HTTP://DEV1.NEONSYS.COM:8093/MJC/MARK01"> <s0:QSTAFF> <s0:QSTAFFInput> <s0:ID xsi:type="xsd:short">10</s0:ID> <s0:FLAG xsi:type="xsd:char">X</s0:FLAG> <s0:ACCODE xsi:type="xsd:short">8</s0:ACCODE> <s0:STAT xsi:type="xsd:short">5</s0:STAT> </s0:QSTAFFInput> </s0:QSTAFF> </SOAP-ENV:Body>

Success Story - ABN/AMROShadow/RTE • Why DataDirect? • Shadow RTE selected through exhaustive RFI/RFP process • Shadow RTE achieved “technical win” during POC • ABN/AMRO advised that early metrics show >50% development time reduction and a 30% reduction in mainframe MIPS • Shadow RTE enables ABN/AMRO systems to achieve application agility – escaping the limitations of their previous technologies • PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE! • Challenges • Due to compliance issues, ABN’s commercial banking unit required a replacement of MDp • Essentially all business applications are embedded into MDp, MQ, Gideon and Sybase servers, including mortgage, teller, commercial loans, small business, VRU • Over 1M request/day flow through Gideon • Wanted to eliminate need for MDp developer and reduce development time by 50% • More importantly, they required a solution that would preserve and use much of the existing business logic and client code
Success Story - Her Majesty’s Land Registry (UK) – z/Direct • Results • Shadow provided enterprise-class integration for business-critical, distributed applications with the company’s DB2 mainframe database. • Faster, reliable access to DB2 data resulted in higher quality of service. • Performance metrics exceed 30,000,000 SQL calls per hour (peak), 300,000,000 SQL calls per day – every day • Reduced management complexity • Challenges • Needed an easy-to-use, industrial-strength mechanism to deliver access to mainframe data in a mission-critical application from a Java environment • Required support for both ODBC and JDBC applications accessing DB2 without a middle-tier • Performance was an absolute requirement • 4th largest DB2 shop in the world
Success Story - Sempra UtilitiesShadow z/Services • Why DataDirect? • Deal signed on 9/29/05 • Initially whittled vendors down to InnerAccess and ClientSoft in 2004 • Decision suspended for a few months • Sempra called us back in April 2005 to move forward with ClientSoft due to superior development environment • When customer found out ClientSoft had merged with NEON, they were extremely pleased • Sempra views Shadow RTE as a truly strategic offering – a unified platform for mainframe integration, not just a tactical Web services generator • Challenges • Facilitate development of mainframe Web services for eServices customer portal (self-service) and new business contractor • Key problem was sheer complexity and time requirements of hand-coding of mainframe Web services. • No mainframe-based in-house Web services talent
Success Story – Wells Fargo • Results? • Customer since 1996 • Leveraged Shadow RTE to create customer portal driven primarily from existing mainframe functionality • Contains an assortment of Web services for servicing customer accounts through a variety of channels e.g. internet banking, customer services, etc. • Accesses primarily legacy data and transactions in DB2 and VSAM/CICS environment via XML, SOAP, and proprietary messaging. • Over 7mm invocations of mainframe Web services per day • Challenges • Open up existing legacy databases and applications • Facilitate development of mainframe customer portal • Expand channels to service customer • No mainframe-based in-house Web services talent
Success Story - Miami-Dade County, Florida • Results • Standardizing access to core mainframe functionality across 40 county departments • Easily incorporated mainframe into new J2EE applications via Web services • Reduced IT development and maintenance costs moving forward • Enhanced services to county employees and taxpayers • Challenges • Needed to create a service-oriented architecture that would standardize access to multiple disparate mainframe systems • In an effort to build new Web & wireless applications, needed to enable effective reuse of mainframe functionality via Web services to build new apps • Wanted to eliminate need for expensive point-to-point integration
Success Story - Electric Insurance Company • Results • Projected revenue increases of 30% by enabling more efficient pricing changes • Eliminated need for redundant COBOL rating engine • Enabled mainframe to consume .NET Web service from more modern Web-based rating engine • By incorporating mainframe into new SOA, now have ability to offer umbrella coverage nationwide via the Internet • Challenges • Needed to enhance revenues by bringing pricing changes to market in a more efficient manner • Wanted to eliminate the need for redundant policy rating functionality • Needed to enable the mainframe to directly consume rating data from an external, Web-based rating engine via Web services • Required interoperability within Microsoft .NET
